We have a small enough ratio that each staff member is able to have a one on one involvement with each of the boys. We have a social worker who sees all the boys on almost a daily basis. We have a clinical psychologist who has individual weekly sessions with boys who can profit from clinical therapy. We can, however, give names and phone numbers of Christian facilities that do. We have a maximum of 18 boys.
Parents also pay for a boy's clothing, phone calls home and transportation costs for home visits.
However, if it were not for the generosity of people who give to our work, we would have to charge much more than we do. Actually, for the service that we provide, we have one of the lowest cost programs available. We are hoping and praying that someday we will be able to make having a boy at Faith Home even more affordable. The boys stay for at least a year. We want time for a boy to have a chance to make well rooted, rather than just surface changes in his life.
