From the moment children are removed from their families, we meet their needs by demonstrating the love of God. Our goal is to protect, provide, and offer permanent solutions for these children and their families so they can have a hope-filled future.

First, every child in Broward County who is brought into the Child Welfare system, from newborns to 17-year-olds, upon being removed from their families due to abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment, is given loving shelter and supervision at SafePlace 4KIDS while they await a more permanent placement.

Second, children are either placed with a foster-care family or at KidsPlace Shelter, a family-style shelter for up to six kids, age 4 to 14. This shelter allows us to keep siblings together while they await a foster home placement or reunification with a family member. Their care and support is provided by a live-in couple.

Third, those children who are not placed with a foster-care family or family member are welcomed into GirlsPlace (a home for teenage girls), GuysPlace and GuysPlace 2 (homes for teenage guys), and KidsPlace 2 (a home for sibling groups and children who are difficult to place).
