About this organization
Mission
Blessing House serves as a safety net for children of families in crisis by providing a temporary safe home for children and support for their families
About
Blessing House is a non-denominational faith-based agency that cares for children newborn through age 12 when their family is having a crisis and the children need a safe place to stay. Parents voluntarily bring their children to Blessing House and we provide a safe home for children. We encourage parents to ask for help so that children are not put at risk. We also provide parents with support to address their situation. During the last year, over 150 children were cared for from various family backgrounds. The average length of stay was 10 days. Most of our families were headed by a single parent or a grandparent raising a grandchild. Children stay at Blessing House because their families are dealing with housing issues, employment issues, mental or physical health issues, domestic violence, substance abuse, and legal issues. We work in partnership with other agencies and programs to provide support to families who have children at risk of abuse or neglect.
