Mentoring Former Foster
Youth Through Life
Aged-out foster youth who are doing life alone are highly likely (97%) to end up
facing chronic poverty, homelessness or worse. But together, we can change that!
The Problem
Every year nearly 85,000 young adults 18-24 are added to the already growing 2 million homeless young adults living on our streets, in our shelters and in dangerous situations because they aren’t connected to a stable, caring family.
Learn MoreThe Solution
We understand that youth who’ve experienced the trauma of abandonment, abuse, and broken trust can only experience healing in those areas through relationships that are secure, safe, and allow them to experience belonging.

Connections Homes is a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting young adults to families. Every year in our country, an estimated 21,000 young men and women between the ages of 18-21 age out of foster care unconnected to a family or any caring stable adult. These young people are living on our streets, in our shelters and in dangerous situations like sex trafficking because they have nowhere to turn. Connections Homes is committed to changing the outcomes for this forgotten population by connecting them with families who will walk with them in life and guide them to a successful future.
