The WCCH mission provides trauma-informed care and child development activities including: education (k-12), life skill instruction, family-style living, nutritional meals, exercise/recreation, and counseling. WCCH also facilitates the children's medical and dental needs. The WCCH program builds on family by employing "live-in" houseparent families in 10 bedroom homes, where each child is given their own bedroom. All meals are served family style.
Children come to WCCH from a variety of circumstances including single parents, next generation parents (grandparent-parent), failed adoptions, and from parents with addiction disorders, impaired mental health or incarceration. WCCH accepts children into the program regardless of their guardians financial ability to pay placement costs. Only 2% of the WCCH income is sourced from the family placing their child at WCCH. This private-placement model is accomplished without government funding or insurance reimbursement. WCCH is 100% funded through the community. WCCH participates in the Allen County System of Care (SOC) with the goal of providing collaborative care with other local not-for-profits. Governed by a prudent Board of Directors, WCCH carefully stewards voluntary donations from hundreds of local business, families, churches, and private foundations. |
