Become a Shelter Home Parent
Serenity Homes is actively seeking kind caregivers to become shelter home parents, opening their home to provide temporary, short-term care for a child or a sibling group or a pregnant teen. Shelter home parents play an important role in 1) caring for young children; 2) keeping teen moms together with their babies; and 3) keeping sibling groups together while we work on a plan to reunite the children with family.
