Giving back to the community is an essential part of our company culture. Each and every time we buy or sell a home, we donate to a Isaiah 117 House and I Am Next on behalf of that client. One of the most exciting parts about helping our clients buy, sell, and invest is that the more people we help, the more we are able to give back to the local community!
As a proud sponsor of Isaiah 117 House & I Am Next charity events, our hope is to share their inspiring mission and expand their support. These events are held to raise funding and help continue their valuable service within the local community.
Isaiah 117 House
When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their safety, they are usually brought to a child welfare services office to await placement. This wait can be a few hours to several days. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry, and in dirty clothing.
Isaiah 117 provides a comforting home where these children instead can be brought to wait – a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets. This space allows children to receive the comfort and care they need while child welfare staff can do the necessary paperwork and identify a good placement.
The mission of Isaiah 117 House is threefold:
- reduce trauma for children awaiting placement
- lighten the load for child welfare services
- ease the transition for foster families

I Am Next:
Mission: To empower young adults aging out of the foster care system with the resources they need to achieve sustainable independence.
I AM NEXT is committed to helping former foster youths secure a stable future through housing, driver’s education, and community.
- We’re grounding young adults with continued case management and support, experience, and education.

Research indicates that transitioning from being adolescents to becoming an independent and responsible adult is not merely a function of reaching a certain age. This intricate process, known as “emerging adulthood,” is especially crucial for former foster youth.
Young people aging out of foster care face challenges from nearly every imaginable angle.
Our mission focuses on easing those challenges, supporting these young people through every step in this crucial transition, and empowering them to build a life of sustainable independence that they can be proud of.
