Davidson County Isaiah 117 House

Isaiah 117 House is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to providing physical and emotional support in a safe and loving home for children awaiting foster placement. When children are removed from their homes out of unsafe situations, they often face hours of waiting in sterile offices. Isaiah 117 House offers a comforting alternative—a place where they can rest, play, and be cared for while their next steps are determined.

Our mission is threefold:

• Reduce trauma for children awaiting placement

• Lighten the load for child welfare workers

• Ease the transition for foster families

Isaiah 117 House is a home 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 foster placement. In addition to these main focus areas, our homes also provide a private visitation space for birth families to have supervised visits with their children in state's custody. We believe this space allows for more effective visits and improves the chances of family reunification.
