Every year, 1.3 million youths across the country run away from home. In Texas, more than 100,000 youth, ages 7 to 17 run away annually. The U.S. conference of Mayor's Hunger and Homelessness survey 2005 reported in San Antonio 2,517 unaccompanied youth registered with a homeless service provider that year - teens who actually sought help from a provider. Hundreds of youth in our community never seek help. They stay with friends, typically going back and forth from one friend's home to another, until they outstay their welcome.

 

Running away  . . .  a plea for help

l Physical abuse

l Difficulties with parents

l Peer pressure

l School

l Drugs

l Sexual abuse

l Alcoholism

l Sexual identity

l Getting thrown out

These are only a few of the many reasons why young people run away from home. Most are not running to something, but away from overwhelming problems.

 

San Antonio House of Hope is registering to be a 501(c)3 and an affiliate of the National House of Hope of Orlando, Florida. San Antonio House of Hope will be a non-denominational, not-for-profit Christian residential program for troubled boys and girls, ages 14-17. The program is based upon Biblical principles, proven to provide both workable and successful solutions in restoring teens and their families, resulting in teens becoming solid citizens and effective, contributing members of society.

 

San Antonio House of Hope will be a home where hurting, troubled teens could learn to accept responsibility, submit to authority, and get along with peers and adults. The emphasis is a Christ-centered approach to heal the spirit, soul and body and to heal and restore teens and their families.

 

San Antonio House of Hope is registered through the Secretary of State of Texas. San Antonio House of Hope will seek a temporary location to offer non-residential counseling until a residential facility is acquired.

 

As an affiliate of National House of Hope, San Antonio House of Hope is receiving continued training and assistance in the set-up process.
