Foster kids are
America's orphans.

Haven 686 is developing a purpose-built village in East Tennessee where Christian foster families don't do this alone.

Learn How

The Barrier

Thousands of families
want to foster. Most never start.

The barriers are significant and the unknowns are real. Without support, foster care stays on the "someday" list — even for families who'd be great at it right now.

The Haven

A home.
A community. A calling made possible.

Haven 686 removes barriers, providing housing and a faith-aligned community so willing families can stop waiting and start fostering — sustainably.

The Reality

42% of foster youth

will be incarcerated at least once by the time they turn 20.

It Doesn't Have to Stay This Way

Foster families that provide stability, identity, and "family" are usually the story behind the other 58%. Together we can create better outcomes for these kids.

The Reality

40% of foster families quit

within the first year. Isolation and lack of support are the most cited reasons.

It Doesn't Have to Stay This Way

The 60% who don't quit are almost never doing it alone — they have a church or community wrapped around them. That's exactly what Haven exists to provide, so more families can stay the course.

The Reality

9% of kids

who leave foster care age out completely alone — no family, no home, just a birthday and a system that stops.

It Doesn't Have to Stay This Way

A family who says yes — through adoption or guardianship — is the reason a child never has to find out what aging out alone feels like.

He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge;

his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

— Psalm 91:4
