What We Do
We are a 501c3 approved public charity.
Passage of Hope aims to set the new standard in Group Foster Care in Texas. Forbes Place, Passage of Hope’s initiative project, will provide basic and therapeutic care to boys ages 7 to 17 who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, exploitation and/or abandonment.
Forbes Place will be a HOME away from home until they are placed with a relative, reunited with their parents or are placed for adoption.
Current Needs
Passage of Hope is currently seeking a home/building to renovate for Forbes Place. We are looking in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex and surrounding areas.
In Dallas/Tarrant County, there is a great need for transitional housing for children and teens. In the year 2007 Data Book (http://www.dfps.state.tx.us) Region 3 of CPS in Texas, Dallas and Tarrant County alone, had over 11,000 confirmed victims of child abuse and over 28,000 unconfirmed victims. Those numbers increase every day. According to the 2007 Child Abuse and Neglect-Community Assessment Update Families Impact Council, child abuse in Tarrant County has continued to rise while National numbers are decreasing. We will offer the additional space for placements that are currently being turned away from other places due to lack of room.
