Overview

Mission

We provide a safe, welcoming, home-like setting where children in foster engage in court-ordered supervised visitation and stay connected with their families.

What it reported doing in 2025

To provide a supervised visitation center that offers a warm, safe, home-like setting for children who have been removed from their homes by the child welfare system due to abuse and neglect.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
