Our History
Seven Homes was founded in February 1995 in High Point, North Carolina, by a passionate group of Social Workers, Direct Care Staff, and Mental Health Professionals. United by concern for the outcomes of children in the foster care system, they came together to create an alternative—one that would respond to the harsh realities of frequent placement disruptions, prolonged stays in care, and the lack of permanency for many children, youth, and young adults.
Over the years, Seven Homes has grown in both scope and impact. Now headquartered in Jamestown, NC, we proudly serve families across the entire state of North Carolina. Though our footprint has expanded, our mission remains unchanged: to meet the needs of vulnerable children with integrity, compassion, and unwavering commitment.
Our guiding philosophy is simple but profound: we seek homes for children, not children for families. This belief shapes everything we do—from our collaborative partnerships with the NC Department of Social Services and the North Carolina Guardian ad Litem Program, to our steadfast efforts to reunify families whenever possible.
At the heart of our work is a holistic commitment to the children we serve. We strive to meet each child’s spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, and social needs, ensuring they are surrounded by love, stability, and the opportunity to thrive.
