For more information, please visit www.forkids.org or call (757) 622-6400. Our Vision: We envision a future where no child is homeless. Through innovative programs and persistent advocacy, ForKids will break the cycle of homelessness, foster strong families, and help parents gain and maintain safe and stable homes. Our Values: We believe the future of our community is rooted in securing the future of our children. We believe family responsibility is the key to generational stability. We believe each individual has unique strengths and abilities that can be nurtured so that they can achieve self-sufficiency. Our families are our full partners in the process of achieving self-sufficiency. We accomplish goals with them, not for them. We believe change is a process, not an event. Emergency shelter is not a permanent solution to homelessness. We believe we must be fully accountable for every contribution made to ForKids and wisely use all funds entrusted to us. We believe it is our responsibility to educate others about the complex nature of homelessness and advocate for changes in community policies and programs. We work as a team to address the complex challenges of homelessness through innovative thinking, hard work and service excellence.
