HomePlace: Providing love, care and hope to homeless children and their moms

In 2005, Perry Hancock, LBCH President and CEO, and trustees began evaluating the need for additional ways to expand the effectiveness of the Children’s Home mission.

The evaluation resulted in the development of a strategic ministry plan called “Moving Forward with the Mission.” In 2007, PathFinders was begun, a ministry that assists 18-to-21-year-olds to transition from high school to adult life.

Then, in 2008, a group of needy children were identified that resulted in the development of My Friends’ House, an emergency care shelter serving an eleven-parish region.
