Purpose
Safe Place for Kids, Inc is a not-for-profit organization that will build and provide safe places for children that
will enable licensed child advocate groups with an environment in which they may make a positive difference and restore hope
in the lives of abused and neglected children.
The Vision
The
Vision Statement at Safe Place for Kids was established as an outline of the process that the organization
will encompass to accomplish its mission. With our roots based in faith, we will serve as property management to identify,
locate and tailor available space to specific requirements for multiple Not for profit agencies. We will
offer the complementing agencies the opportunity to lease their locations at reduced rates. We offer this service so that
small to medium Non for profit organizations can use their precious funding toward their unique mission. Safe
Place for Kids will play a role in eradicating child abuse and neglect in our community and is committed to the building,
rehabilitation and development of locations that enable licensed child advocate groups with an environment in which
they may make a positive difference and restore hope in the lives of abused and neglected children. Using 5 simple steps,
the “Five E’s” as a guideline, Safe Place for Kids will partner with Non for profit agencies, through a
grant process, that serve children or families in any measure of these 5 statements.
