Everybody's Place: Galveston County is home to 350,000+ people. Over 13.8% percent (+/- 48,000 people) live below the poverty line (source: US Census Bureau's 2020 American Community Survey (ACS). 14.8% are living with severe housing problems (source: County Health Rankings and Roadmaps). A Payroll.com survey in 2023 found that 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

These aren't statistics; these are neighbors. Thousands of our neighbors are one incident away from eviction, but for many more, the great concern is not “What do I do if that happens?”, but “What do I do now?”

Like every community, Galveston County has a homeless problem. Unlike many communities, there are few options for our neighbors in Galveston County experiencing homelessness.

 When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their safety, they are usually brought to a child welfare services office to await placement. This wait can be a few hours to several days. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry, and in dirty clothing.

Isaiah 117 provides a comforting home where these children instead can be brought to wait – a place 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 placement.
