Chambliss Center for Children has partnered with Isaiah 117 to bring a much-needed service to Hamilton County that will benefit children removed from their homes as they enter foster care. Isaiah 117 Houses, located in the state of Tennessee and Indiana, serve to provide a warm, comforting environment for children entering state care. Children who are removed from their homes out of concern for their welfare are typically taken to the Department of Children’s Services Offices to await foster placement. This wait can be several hours to nearly a full day. These children often have nothing with them and are scared and lonely. Isaiah 117 Houses provide a calming home environment where these children instead can be brought to wait – a place that is safe with friendly and loving trained volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, food, and more. This space allows children to receive the reassurance and care they need while case workers utilize a space within the house to complete paperwork and identify a good foster placement. This project will begin early 2021 with a kick-off event and awareness campaign. The goal is to start renovations of the current Mary Rhoda Porter Administrative Building by late 2021 to become the Isaiah 117 House at Chambliss Center for Children.
