About this organization
Mission
The ForKids team is committed to our mission of breaking the cycle of homelessness and poverty for families and children. Thirty-two years ago, concern for families with children sleeping on local beaches led ForKids to open an 8-family emergency shelter in Norfolk. Originally operating with a volunteer staff, ForKids worked with local officials to expand services into neighboring cities, added a hotel voucher program to increase shelter capacity and incorporated a system of holistic support services. ForKids provides comprehensive programming to address social emotional learning skills along with targeted educational support to close academic achievement gaps. Since 1988, our service delivery model has evolved strategically to foster strong families and secure the futures of children.
