Our Story
Since opening its doors on February 3, 2003, Abundant Life Ministries Hope House Incorporated has been a beacon of hope for children in foster care. Co-founder Sandra Shank, inspired by her experiences in the Miami-Dade County Public School System, recognized the urgent need for a nurturing environment for motherless and fatherless children. The home quickly became a sanctuary for teen boys from diverse backgrounds, providing them with the love and support they desperately needed. Under Ms. Shank's leadership, ALM-HHI has expanded its services, becoming a Community Behavioral Health provider through Medicaid and planning a 30-unit Permanent Supportive Housing Development for teens aging out of foster care and low-income families.
