HOPE, Inc

General information

The Family Center of Hope (TFC, Inc.) is a private, not-for-profit therapeutic foster care agency offering contemporary intensive case management services for moderately to severely emotionally disturbed children in the Tidewater Virginia area. TFC, Inc.’s offices are located in Newport News and Hayes, Virginia.

TFC, Inc's mission is to help other people's enrichment by providing a safe, nurturing, healthy experience in the community through our foster and adoptive homes.

The primary goal of TFC, Inc. is to prepare youth for permanency. Treatment Foster Care families care for the youth needs in their homes and communities, reducing the need for hospitalization and to prevent more restrictive placements. Therapeutic foster care families focus on providing the most normalized, stable, consistent environment that supports the youth’s potential by building on their competencies and strengths in a time-limited period.

TFC, Inc.’s philosophy is that services must be an integrated team approach that are child centered, family focused, strengths-based, and culturally competent with the focus on permanency. TFC, Inc. believes each child needs to maintain contact with family, deserves a permanent family, and that kinship care is key to success.
