 Our Mission The mission of Homes of Hope for Children is to serve children in crisis throughout Mississippi by providing strong, Christian homes to every child that lives on campus while ensuring that each child is loved unconditionally and has their physical, spiritual, and emotional needs met.
Children We Will Serve
Our children will come from a variety of economic and ethnic backrounds. Often, they will have experienced harmful situations and diverse family structures. Many of our children will come from courageous families who simply seek the best for their children. Due to our belief in keeping siblings together, we will serve both boys and girls ages 4-18 years of age.
Children will come to us from one of two ways. We may receive referrals by the state, or we may receive private referrals from community partners or from families themselves. The children that do come to Homes of Hope for Children will not be there because of any wrongdoing on their part but because of their circumstance in life. We will have a full-time licensed counselor on our campus to provide services to the children and their families. Some children may stay with us for a few months, others a few years. According to statistics in the related foster care system, we can expect about 25% of the children who come to live with us to remain in our care until they graduate high school. One of our services will be working with the children and their families through counseling, with the ultimate goal of uniting the traditional family togther when at all possible and only when it is best for the children.
