Isaiah House
Isaiah 117 Houses serve to provide a warm, comforting environment for children entering state care. Children who are removed from their homes out of concern for their welfare are typically taken to the Department of Children’s Services Offices to await foster placement. This wait can be several hours to nearly a full day. These children often have nothing with them and are scared and lonely.
Isaiah 117 Houses provide a calming home environment where these children instead can be brought to wait – a place that is safe with friendly and loving trained volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, food, and more. This space allows children to receive the reassurance and care they need while case workers utilize a space within the house to complete paperwork and identify a good foster placement.
