ANNAS HOUSE FOUNDATION

Description

The Anna's House Foundation provides an exceptional, personal network of support for families caring for children in foster care, and the unique needs these children share. We offer a future of hope and faith to foster families by providing support, training and resources as well as housing in a Christian foster care community in Luther, Ok.

Of the approximately 11,000 Oklahoma children in foster care, about 2,500 live in Oklahoma County. Over half of those are under age six. On average, children are moved more than three times within their first year of state custody.

Reactive attachment disorders are common among these children when they do not bond with a caregiver from the earliest days. Some estimates indicate that as many as 70% of the American children suffering from some type of attachment disorder today are children in the foster system.

Our mission is to provide immediate, stable, loving homes to the children in state custody. The goal of The Anna's House Foundation is to recruit and support Christian families who open their homes at a moment's notice to give immediate shelter, comfort and love to the most vulnerable among us. We partner with OKDHS to provide the highest level of care in Oklahoma County.
