Providing a Path of Hope
for young adults (ages 18-21) aging out of foster care.
Empowering young adults aging out of foster care.
The Open Door House, located in Concord, North Carolina, exists to support vulnerable young adults (ages 18-21) as they age out of foster care and step into adulthood. We meet each resident where they are, providing a safe home, a stable and caring community, and the resources they need to grow, heal, and thrive.
Keep reading to learn more about the six pillars of support that form the foundation of our 12–18 month residential program.
Opening Doors, Building Futures
Every year, 500+ young adults age out of foster care in North Carolina. Approximately 100 become immediately homeless.
And we’re seeing the growing need firsthand. Each month, The Open Door House receives more referrals than we have room to serve.
Through our ambitious $6 million, 6-year Opening Doors, Building Futures Campaign, we are expanding our campus to increase our capacity from 4 to 26 young adults.

I owe all my thanks to the people who have supported me thus far, including those at The Open Door House. I was in a dark place before living at TODH, and can proudly say that I have found my hope again. I loved learning to cook, interface with my peers, and become self-sufficient. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to shine.

Stories of Impact
"Coming here was a huge weight off my shoulders. The team here and the people from the church have been so inspirational. It’s just an awesome team here to help girls in my situation get off the ground. Personally, since I don’t have so much family to go to, it’s always awesome to have other people in your life who care about you and want you to do good."
