Homes

Are you an older foster child
or a former foster child?

Are you in need of safe, stable housing

and a path to independence?

Grant Me Hope can help!

Our Homes are for young men and women who:

  • Have aged-out of foster care or who once spent time in foster care
  • Young men who are 16 or 17 and still in foster care
  • Are seeking a safe, place to live
  • Are motivated to set goals and work with adult mentors to achieve those goals
  • Want to learn important life-skills and some day transition to independent living
  • Want to live in a stable, loving environment with other young people  and either full-time House Parents or regular staff and case managers. 

We believe success includes:

  • Obtaining a driver’s license
  • Gaining steady employment
  • Positive interpersonal relationships
  • Practicing financial stewardship
  • Being active in community service
  • Educational assistance
  • Being equipped with a life plan
  • Stable, independent living
  • A home to come back to for support and friendship

We may recommend alternative community resources if one or more of the following is true:

  • The individual does not meet the admission criteria.
  • The individual has dependent children living with them.
  • The individual is not ready to commit to the opportunities and responsibilities available at Grant Me Hope.
  • The individual is looking for emergency shelter only, such as in the event of domestic violence or personal crisis.
  • The individual has a criminal history with either violent or sexual offenses.
  • The individual is a current drug/alcohol user and unwilling to seek treatment.
  • When an alternative housing option would be a better fit.

Beds are currently available in

  • Holland – for young adult men who were once in foster care.
  • Allegan – for young adult women who were once in foster care.
  • Fennville – for young men aged 16 and 17 still in care but have chosen a path to independence. Learn more about Mackenzie’s House.
