Our MISSION
Our mission is to increase positive outcomes for youth who have high social, emotional and behavioral needs, and youth who are on the cusp of aging out of care and in need of independent living skills and support. Through targeted recruitment of families who are willing to provide a family and home to youth who are at increased risk due to these high-risk factors, Harris House of Hope can decrease the odds of a youth leaving foster care without achieving permanence. Harris House of Hope specializes in the service two uniquely underserved populations: High-risk behavioral and “aging out” youth who do not meet the requirements for placement into a state approved ILP. We are passionate about providing youth with a safe and nurturing environment that keeps them connected to community, family, and friends through their journey into adulthood after being in foster care. Harris House of Hope is centered around community partnerships, targeted recruitment, parent-focused training, supports, and incentives.
Our VISION
Building a community-based child placing agency that is designed to meet the specific needs of youth with high-risk behaviors while minimizing negative outcomes youth face as they approach adulthood. Harris House of Hope will increase positive outcomes for youth by strengthening and supporting caregivers while providing resources and creating a community base of support and opportunities for youth. Harris House of Hope is based on the principle of long-term support and healing of our youth in care.
Our agency’s principle is rooted in the following:
- Developing and maintaining staff and caregiver resources who are willing, committed, and highly trained to serve youth with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges, and the “aging out” population
- Maintaining stable resources, placements, and minimizing risk to youth in our care
- Maintaining trauma informed and evidence-based practices
