Life After Foster Care
“We go all out, so they will be all IN!”
Phased IN is a transitional living program for emancipated foster youth. The goal of Phased IN is to assist these young adults in learning basic life skills that will prepare them for independent living. Phased IN will provide housing, education and life skills training. With the combined partnership of the church, the community, and the State of Texas, Phased IN will embrace these youth who were never adopted to ensure that these young adults achieve self-sufficiency and stability. Finally, Phased IN will provide the most vital and missing dynamic in the lives of these young adults – Family.
Our goal is for all of the youth we serve to know they are INvited and INcluded at our campuses. We will INvest our resources, commit to being INvolved, and use our INfluence to INspire change in the lives of those most vulnerable.
“Growing up, people use to always ask me what I wish for, and one of those wishes was to find a family that I could always count on. To be there for me for anything at all and not judge me for my life decisions. God granted me that wish by introducing me to you and your family.”

Approximately 20,000
Children phase out of foster care each year in the United States.
20%
Of the youth will become homeless the day that they foster out. That is 4,000 children left alone with nothing.
More than 1,200
Children will phase out of the foster care system this year in Texas alone.
1/2
Of the phased out youth will not have found gainful employment by the age of 24.
Less than 3%
Of these children will earn a college degree at any point in their life.
7 out of 10
Girls who age out of the foster care system will become pregnant before the age of 21.
Through committed participation in the lives of foster youth phasing out of care, we will empower them to understand that their past does not define their future.
