House of Hope Kansas City to Welcome Teen Boys

We are thrilled to announce that beginning July 10, 2023, our House of Hope Kansas City Affiliate location will serve both girls AND boys!

Since 2003, House of Hope Kansas City has been serving only teen girls. Now, after much preparation, the launch of their NEW Boys Residential Program will allow them to serve more families and provide healing to more teens.

After installing security systems and cameras, painting bedrooms, replacing carpet, and purchasing curriculum, House of Hope KC is ready to serve male residents from Kansas City and the greater Midwest area!

With an average stay of 8-10 months, House of Hope KC will provide teen boys with housing, food, a private education, Christ-centered discipleship, professional counseling, life skills training, sports programs, and more. 

The mission of House of Hope Kansas City is to be a guide in the healing process for teens, while also helping pave the way for restoration of their family relationships. They offer both an affordable residential program for teens ages 13-17, as well as a Family Counseling Center for teen girls and boys and their families. Through this ministry, House of Hope KC aims to be God’s instruments in reclaiming the stories of teenagers from trauma to triumph.
