Our mission of "Supporting The Taylor House, Inc." is to empower independence by teaching life skills and offering affordable rents to transitioning foster youth and "at risk/homeless" individuals 18-21. |
Our Goal
Our goal is to bridge the transition to adulthood by empowering residents to become well rounded, self sufficient and confident individuals.

Our staff, board members and volunteers continually strive to deliver the best possible experience and direction to make their stay and transition successful. |

Our Services
We have created a tier program to keep the girls on track and focused.
They have the ability to graduate from each tier starting from the "Grace Period" transitioning to the "Junior Resident" and then graduating to "Senior Resident". The girls have weekly one on one catch up's with the Program Director and then weekly family meetings with their roommates and the Program Director. We create fun leadership building events, volunteers meet with one of the girls and create a friendship and bond that really makes a difference.
