Angel Reach serves Kinship families and youth who have aged out of the foster care system and/or are at risk of homelessness between the ages of 16-24. Most come from the Greater Houston area. Some come from other areas in the state of Texas. These young people are scared and alone, with a history of being consistently let down by the adults who should have been caring for them. The effect on our community is tragic. The statistics speak for themselves: • 50% will end up homeless • 27% will end up in jail • 67% will end up pregnant before they turn 21, and many of their children will repeat the cycle • 46% (only) will complete high school The goal at Angel Reach is to provide a foundation for our young people and families through their respected programs to become emotionally stable and financially independent. From the meager beginnings of serving a few kinship/foster families and their children out of the founder's garage, Angel Reach has grown to now serve over 300 Kinship individuals and 135 young adults between the ages of 16-24 each year. The Transitional Living Program (TLP) is our largest Program and has expanded to 4 homes and scattered-site housing, usually apartments, as well as the support programs used to support each individual. TLP is a 4-year program where every day that a young person spends with us, they are offered an opportunity to learn, be cared for, and supported in their goals. Our mission is to break the generational cycle of abuse, neglect, and homelessness by equipping aged-out foster youth and homeless youth to live independently as well as providing critical services and support to relatives doing their best to keep children out of the foster care system. Our vision is to help these children and youth achieve their full potential in spite of the obstacles placed on them by broken families and a broken system.

Sister Connection was founded in 2006 to help widows rebuild their lives after decades of war. Civil conflict left a generation of widows and orphans without status and without support. We connected them to donors who rebuilt their homes and supported them financially. Today, Sister Connection serves a new generation of widows. While the memory of war is fading, the economic prospects for widows and their children remain bleak. Our goal has shifted from the immediate needs of charity to a push for self-sufficiency and sustainable development.
After a survey found over 50,000 widows of career enlisted Air Force personnel lived in poverty, the Air Force Enlisted Men's, Widows and Dependents Home Foundation was incorporated in 1971. Teresa Village, an apartment complex located in Fort Walton Beach, FL was purchased in 1975, providing the first housing for enlisted widows. Construction of Bob Hope Village was completed in 1988. Between the two villages, we have the capability to house and provide services for 450 resident in independent living apartments. A reflection of our growing and evolving mission was our official name change in 2002 to the Air Force Enlisted Village. On September 15, 2005 our new Assisted Living Residence, Hawthorn House was opened adjacent to Bob Hope Village. We can now provide a greater level of care as our residents age in place. The long range goal is to eventually build a skilled nursing residence in order to provide continuous life care. Our campus also has a beautiful all-faiths chapel, a welcome center and an administrative building. Providing for resident's physical, social , psychological, health and security needs is the AFEV's only purpose.
