The Project

An 80-acre development of approximately 12 homes (for foster families, biological families, and “grandparent” dwellings), a community building, central office, and additional services to conduct supportive, safe, and nurturing environments for foster parents and their families. This will be the only initiative of this kind in the state of North Dakota; the second such facility in the United States.

Haven Hills will be a community of united foster families making it their mission to care for foster children until they can be reunited with their biological families or obtain permanency through adoption. There will be an extensive vetting process to become a foster family at Haven Hills. We require families to be licensed foster homes in good standing, willing to bring at least four foster youth placements into their home and be in good financial standing. If approved, housing would be provided at a minimal cost so that families are able to better support the youth in their care. The minimum residency term is one year, with the goal of multiple years.
