What is The Faine House?

Children’s Home Society of Florida and Jeff Faine, Center for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, came together for a common goal: to create a place for Central Florida’s young adults aging out of foster care to call home.

The overarching goal of The Faine House is to prevent or ameliorate homelessness amongst former foster youth by providing short-term housing and enabling these young adults to participate in available  services needed to prepare for independence. The Faine House will link youth with existing programs for case management, employment skills training, mentoring, education and health — all essential elements to long-term success and life satisfaction. For more detailed info, check out our fact sheet.

“These kids [who come to The Faine House] are going to be able to reinvest themselves in the community, and that’s what’s most important.” -Jeff Faine
