Hope Apartments has a new home.

The New Foster Care has purchased the former Embassy Suites hotel at 28100 Franklin Road in Southfield as the future location of Hope Apartments — a supportive housing community for young adults who have experienced foster care.

Originally constructed in 1986 and vacant since 2019, the building will undergo a full renovation to become a space for housing, offices, supportive services, and community connection.

Once complete, Hope Apartments is planned to include 175 residential units, with a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The building will also include community spaces and amenities designed to support connection, stability, and growth.

Through onsite wraparound support from The Bridge Program, residents will have access to services that support the whole person, including medical, mental health, nutritional and maternal health supports, dental services, life skills, educational support, vocational training, and more.

Our team recently toured the building together and began imagining what this space will become. There is still a lot of work ahead as the building moves through cleanout, planning, and renovation, but this is a major milestone toward expanding housing and support for young adults with experience in foster care.

Thank you to our supporters, partners, board, donors, staff, and community for helping bring this vision to life.

More updates to come.

Fatherhood can look like showing up, learning, protecting, encouraging, and loving in big and small ways.

Today, we celebrate the dads, dads-to-be, father figures, and men who lead with care.

Happy Father’s Day!

Sometimes the most powerful labels are the ones never spoken aloud.

In this reflection, Jami shares how expectations shaped by statistics and stereotypes influenced her childhood—and how she chose to reject them. Her story reminds us that every person deserves to be seen for who they are, not who others assume they’ll become.

Because potential isn’t measured by expectations. It’s defined by who we choose to be.

Save this reminder, or share it with someone who deserves to feel seen.

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, a reminder that men’s mental health deserves care, conversation, and community.

In 2024, among U.S. men age 18 and older:
20% experienced a mental illness
4.7% experienced a serious mental illness
5.5% had serious thoughts of su***de in the past year
21.3% experienced a substance use disorder
42.1% of men with a mental illness received treatment in the past year

Behind every number is someone who deserves support without shame.

Mental health challenges are common. Seeking help should be, too.

This month and beyond, let’s continue creating spaces where men can speak honestly, ask for support, and receive care without judgment.

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Support is available 24/7.

This Maternal Health Month, we honor the strength, courage, and sacred transition into parenthood. 💙

No birthing person should have to walk the journey of pregnancy, birth, or postpartum alone. Every family deserves support that helps them feel seen, held, informed, and empowered.

At The New Foster Care, we are grateful to the Michigan Health Endowment Fund for supporting our vision to expand access to doula care and improve maternal health outcomes.

We are especially proud to welcome an in-house maternal health team, offering doula services through the trusted relationships our participants and families already know.

Grounded in the Transition to Independence Process (TIP) model, we believe every birthing person deserves voice, choice, and compassionate support as they prepare to welcome new life and build the future they hope for.

We are striving toward meaningful outcomes because care matters—for parent and baby alike:
✨ 95% of participants reporting improved physical or mental health after doula support
✨ Healthier pregnancy and postpartum experiences
✨ Stronger maternal and infant outcomes through informed, supported birth experiences

Doula care is for everyone.

A doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after birth—helping families experience safer, healthier, and more supported journeys.

May is National Foster Care Month — a time to recognize the important role we all play in supporting children, youth, and families.
This year’s theme highlights the need for a child welfare system that authentically engages and supports young people preparing to leave foster care.

For youth aging out without permanent connections, the transition to adulthood can bring significant challenges. That’s why relational support, concrete resources, and meaningful opportunities matter.

At The New Foster Care, we support young adults through the Transition to Independence Process (TIP) model — a person-centered approach that empowers young adults to identify their goals, build on their strengths, and create a vision for their future.

We believe authentic support means walking alongside young adults as they navigate the transition into adulthood, offering guidance, connection, and practical support across six key life domains:

💛 Education
💛 Employment
💛 Housing
💛 Transportation
💛 Mental & Physical Health
💛 Community Connection

By focusing on the whole person, not just immediate needs, we help young adults build confidence, stability, healthy relationships, and hope for the future.

This Foster Care Awareness Month, we recognize the importance of authentic engagement, meaningful relationships, and support that continues beyond crisis.

Together, we are creating a NEW Foster Care.
