Overview

Mission

The shepherd's home nurtures children in need by providing a loving family home. We serve children of all ages. Our trained and compassionate team values each child, offers unconditional love, and encourages each child a sense of self-worth. As a result, we play a part in breaking the cycle of abuse and neglect. Objectives provide a safe and loving home to children who are victims of abuse, neglect, or crisis. Provide additional programs for our residents to help them adopt healthy habits and be successful. Seek to provide not only temporary shleter but a new road map for life after residence in the home. In 2025, we provided 1,106 safe benights -- defined as one child in one bed for one night. Demographics included 61% hispanic and 39% white.

What it reported doing in 2025

Reunification our third objective is to provide not only temporary shelter but a new road map for life after residence in the home. When children enter foster care, their entire family is affected. However, foster care is temporary, with family reunification being the primary goal when it's safe and in the child's best interest. This is the most common outcome, in 2025 there was a 42% reunification for the children. Families under health and human services protection benefit from developing strong parneting skills. These include practical abilities like child supervision and discipine, as well as relationship-building skills that strengthen parent-child bonds. Regulare visits between biological parents and their children are crucial for maintaining these connections. The home's design allows siblings to stay together, which research shows is a vital protective factor for children in foster care. While keeping siblings together is essential, this sometimes means children are placed farther from their biological parents. Currently, most parents live approximately 90 miles away, requiring a two-hour drive for visits. To facilitate these crucial family connections, the home assists with visitation services. This includes covering essential expenses such as fuel costs, overnight accommodations, and meals during travel.
