Alabama Baptist Children’s Home Family Care Program: Birmingham

Many parents face challenges that threaten to separate them from their kids — financial struggles, lack of support, domestic abuse, or job loss. Our Family Care program is here to bridge the gap for those in need. It’s more than just a home. It’s a new beginning for vulnerable women and children, paving the way for hope and a bright future.

What’s included:

• Transitional housing: Many of our locations are apartment type homes for each family. Some locations share common living areas. This is an 18-month program.
• Skills training: We provide skills training sessions in areas such as household management, budgeting, and parenting.
• Goal setting and counseling: Mothers meet regularly with a social worker to set goals and continue toward independence. Mothers in the program can meet regularly with a licensed, professional counselor.

Requirements

• a mother with custody of her minor children
• working or actively seeking employment 
• reliable transportation
• no violent criminal history
