Children & Family Services

Welcome Home: Love, Ma

Welcome Home: Love, Ma is a trauma-informed housing stabilization and life-readiness pilot program created by Love, Ma: The Susan Eileen Scott Foundation in partnership with The RightWay Foundation.

Designed for transition-age foster youth entering independent or transitional housing, the program helps turn housing placement into permanence by providing the practical tools, emotional support, life skills, mentorship, and creative expression needed to sustain stability beyond move-in.

Through the lens of a mother’s love, Welcome Home brings structure, consistency, and practical support into the everyday moments where stability is built.

Welcome Home, In Practice:

Weekly stability check-ins to identify what is working, what is slipping, and where support is needed
Home rhythm support around cleaning, meals, laundry, shared spaces, and personal responsibility
Roommate reset conversations before conflict becomes a housing issue
Emotional pulse checks to identify stress, isolation, or overwhelm early
Accountability without shame, so correction becomes coaching
Creative reflection tools that help youth process, express, and imagine what comes next
A steady house mom/auntie presence that brings warmth, boundaries, and real-life guidance

Help for the Holidays

The season of giving and gratitude often serves as a painful reminder of what one doesn't have. It's also a time of incredible loneliness and depression and when financial resources are at their lowest.
We also offer spiritual inspiration to encourage faith and course-correction, mentorship, and resources for independence for single mothers and children who find themselves caught up in the cycle of domestic violence, opioid/drug addiction and homelessness.

We welcome:

Adopt-a-Family for the holidays by fulling their Christmas list
Financial aid for rent/mortgage and utilities to ensure a family does not lose their home during the holiday season.
Food donations for the Holidays
Reuniting estranged family members for the holidays
Counselors
Safe havens from domestic violence
Financial aid for recovery
Mental health support and financial aid
