Why We’re Here
- Scientific research has shown that the single most important predictor of a child’s healthy growth and development is the attachment he/she forms with a consistent, loving caregiver.
- Seniors are often left vulnerable to fraud and schemes, and are less likely to report a crime.
- Being behind on rent or living under deplorable living conditions are often invisible to society, but can have drastic effects on a child’s health.
What We Do: Create Pathways to Justice
- Help children in foster care find permanency in stable, loving homes.
- Protect families from domestic violence and child abuse.
- Help veterans and seniors fight foreclosure and retain their homes.
- And help low-income residents throughout the Tampa Bay community.
