New Life Village Program Activity & Volunteer Support VISTA
 
 
 
We provide a residential community where families seeking permanency for children impacted by foster care or trauma can seek healing in a safe and stable intergenerational Village. The Village exists to reduce the number of children in long-term foster care by encouraging more families to adopt or to prevent them from entering into foster care at all. New Life Village supports the foster care system by providing program-rich, below-market housing to foster, adoptive, and kinship caregivers and their children, many of whom have survived abuse, neglect, or trauma. Seniors living in the community serve as surrogate grandparents, volunteers, and tutors. Our community provides children with a loving, supportive place to call home while they heal from the effects of trauma. The Village also connects parents to a community of supports and resources so that children have families that are supported and supportive.
