Comprehensive, Compassionate, Effective

At Save Our Selphs, we understand that true transformation requires more than a roof over someone's head. Our programs provide holistic support that addresses the complete spectrum of needsβ€”from immediate crisis intervention to long-term stability and success.

We serve two primary populations: individuals in crisis (formerly incarcerated and youth aging out of foster care) through our My Selph Empowerment Program, and families with children through our Younger Selph Family Support Program.

Program Status: Our programs are fully designed and ready for implementation. We are currently working to secure our facility and funding to launch operations and begin serving those in need.
