16 Of Each, 16 For All

Life is all about coping with the hand that you've been dealt. For the residents in HopeTree's Therapeutic Group Homes, their journey has brought them here so that they may have a structured setting in order to best learn to cope with their emotional and behavioral challenges. At full capacity, HopeTree is able to accommodate up to 16 youth in their two groups homes - one for girls and one for boys. The average stay is three to six months with the ultimate goal to get residents back home, into treatment foster care, or independent living with support for college or vocational training.

The youth we serve today is drastically different than those from even as recently as five years ago. These youth arrive at our group homes with severe behavioral issues and complex trauma. From the start, we want them to feel comfortable and at ease. We want to provide an inviting environment and surroundings in which they will live. While we excel at enhancing the emotional, educational, physical, social, and spiritual development of each adolescent, the facilities themselves are in urgent need of updates and replacement.

The list below includes a few of the items we need to procure. Specifically, we are looking for 16 of each item so that all residents receive the same accommodations. At the end of the day, we want to provide an updated living space so that it can feel more like home, no matter how long a resident stays with us.
