More About New Beginning Homes:
New Beginning Homes provides a safe and loving family environment for Arizona’s children needing out of home care and adults with disabilities. New Beginning Homes is all about family, and whether someone is in our home for a month or many years, that person will be honored, loved and considered part of our extended family.
It is New Beginning Homes belief that everyone deserves to be in a family like home with loving and caring adults. We create homes where children and adults will be able to find meaning and purpose for their lives, with their dignity upheld, and individual differences embraced.
Everyone needs to know they are loved and worthy. They are not expendable. Every person has a story and no matter where it started God has the power to redeem that story and that person’s life. We hope to provide a safe and loving home that will allow foster children and adults with disabilities to live a ‘normal life’ as much as possible while in care. Our hope is to create dignified homes through love and family.
We utilize quality, loving staff who see New Beginning Homes as a calling and mission, it is more than a job. We also incorporate fun extracurricular activities, academic help for the children, life skills training for adults, mentor relationships, and a family type environment. We are a home where siblings can be together (if at all possible). In our homes, our residents are not a patient, but a member of our family.
