FAMILY STABILIZATION HOUSING PROGRAM
FAMILY STABILIZATION HOUSING PROGRAM
A structured, healing-centered path from crisis to lasting stability.
Phase 1 is being developed for single- and two-parent households with children affected by foster care, out-of-home placement, trauma, family separation, or child welfare involvement. It combines safe housing, trauma-informed support, parenting services, practical skill-building, clear expectations, and accountability.
WHO WE SERVE
WHO WE SERVE
Phase 1 is for families with children. At admission, a household must have legal custody of its child or children or be actively participating in a documented reunification plan. Families must need structured, trauma-informed housing and commit to programming, household responsibilities, community engagement, and family goal planning.
Eligible families must also have experience with foster care, out-of-home placement, trauma or family separation affecting stability, or formal child welfare involvement.

HOW THE MODEL WORKS
HOW THE MODEL WORKS
Phase 1 uses structured communal living—not isolated apartments. Each household has private sleeping and family space while sharing kitchen, dining, living, and program areas. Families maintain work, school, parenting, and personal schedules while participating in required programming, weekly house meetings, goal planning, and shared responsibilities.
Transition planning begins at intake. Regular check-ins, practical skill-building, referrals, and clear expectations support each family’s progress. Completion and transition decisions are based on documented progress, family needs, housing readiness, safety, and available capacity—not an automatic fixed timeline.
PHASE 1: BUILDING RESPONSIBLY
PHASE 1: BUILDING RESPONSIBLY
Cameron’s Haven is developing a small Baltimore-area launch site for approximately 2–4 families, depending on the property, occupancy limits, and household needs.
The pilot will test operating systems, evaluate outcomes, strengthen partnerships, and demonstrate safety, financial stewardship, and compliance readiness. Expansion will occur only when funding, staffing, governance, and program quality support responsible growth.
FUTURE EXPANSION — PHASE 2
FUTURE EXPANSION — PHASE 2
After Phase 1 is operating responsibly, Cameron’s Haven plans a separate transitional housing program for adults ages 18 and older affected by foster care, out-of-home placement, trauma-related instability, or earlier child welfare involvement.
Phase 2 will focus on independent living, employment and education, financial stability, emotional regulation, and long-term housing. It is a future program and is not currently open.
Support and accountability belong together. Structure is not punishment, and guidance is not control. We are building a place where families can stabilize, learn, rebuild, and prepare for lasting independence with dignity.
