Hope House Florida is stepping into a new season 🌿
After much prayer and planning, we are expanding from a residential maternity home into a resource center model to serve parenting moms ages 15 to 21, walking with them until age 25.
Through the process of partnering with Hope House Colorado—an incredible nonprofit who has faithfully served teen moms and children for 23+ years—we will gain access to proven programming that helps teen moms move toward stability and self sufficiency. Our heart remains the same: empowering young moms with tangible resources, life skills, education support, mental health services, spiritual formation and long term pathways to independence.
This new model will allow us to serve 200 to 300 moms each year right here in Polk County.
Our name is not changing. Our board remains local and autonomous. What is changing is our capacity to serve more young women when they are ready to commit to a brighter future for themselves and their children.
In the coming months:
• We will hire a new Executive Director.
• We will seek a new permanent facility to support this expanded vision.
• Our current Bartow property will be placed on the market, with proceeds directed toward operating Hope House Florida in this next chapter.
To our champion donors and partners, we are deeply grateful. We are committed to honoring your legacy of support in our future space.
Thank you for standing with Hope House Florida as we grow to meet the needs of more young moms in our community. The mission is the same. The reach is expanding. 💚
