Long Term Foster Support
The Village at Dogwood Ranch will be a community of foster homes committed to ensuring every child has the family they deserve. Designed to meet the critical need for long-term care for foster children and youth with elevated needs, The Village will consist of six experienced, licensed, and specially trained foster homes. These families will provide care, stability, and a nurturing environment for behaviorally challenged children who have experienced significant trauma.
The Village will also feature a full-time respite and emergency “on-call” home, ensuring immediate support for both foster youth and resource families. This innovative model prioritizes the well-being of children while supporting foster families with on-site assistance to maintain resilience, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to their mission.
More than just housing, The Village will be a place where family-based stability allows children to heal, grow, and hope once again. By creating a safe and supportive community, The Village hopes to ensure that every child has the opportunity to rebuild their lives within a loving, committed family.
Vision Statement: We believe in the transformative power of family—a gift that facilitates healing and wholeness for foster children and youth who may have never experienced true safety in a family setting. The Village exists to ensure that all behaviorally challenged, "hard-to-place" foster children and youth have a loving, skilled family and a home to call their own.
Stay tuned as we bring this life-changing vision to life and create a community where hope thrives.
