Imagine on your 18th birthday that your only present is to be kicked out of your house for nothing more than turning 18.  Most kids that are in foster care could be a year or more behind in school due to being moved around so much.  This means they could be a junior or senior when they turn 18 and be kicked out of thier house.  More than 1200 children will phase out of the foster care system this year in Texas alone. 

We built a home for 16 of these girls right here in Arlington, TX.  The vast majority of these girls are prime targets to be sex trafficked.  70% of girls who age out will become pregnant before age 21. 

Phased IN is a transitional living program for emancipated foster youth. The goal of Phased IN is to assist these young adults in learning basic life skills that will prepare them for independent living. Phased IN will provide housing, education, medical care and life skills training. With the combined partnership of the church, the community, and the State of Texas, Phased IN will embrace these youth who were never adopted to ensure that these young adults achieve self-sufficiency and stability. Finally, Phased IN will provide the most vital and missing dynamic in the lives of these young adults – Family.
