Our Next Chapter
A New Home. A Stronger Future for Families.
As the only organization providing supervised visitation and safe custody exchange services in Porter County, Family House plays a vital role in protecting children, supporting families, and strengthening our community.
But our current facility no longer meets the needs of those we serve. Aging infrastructure and costly repairs have made relocation a necessary step toward a sustainable future.
Family House Forward is about more than a new building. It's about creating new possibilities.
A new location will provide a more comfortable, accessible, and welcoming environment for families, while giving us the space to grow our programs and reach more children in need.
Because every child deserves a safe place to connect with their family.
What Your Support Makes Possible

A Welcoming Space
