The Stepping Stone Cottages is a program where families can get back on their feet and prosper. It is a 2 to 3 yr program where the families are taught success principles, investment strategies, career training, family values, and being spiritually connected. They are taught saving strategies, how to take a percentage of their monthly rent and put it into an investment fund they can use at the end of the program for the down payment on a home of their choice, be it a house, camper or tiny home. This is a program that empowers families to succeed. All participants must be drug free.
These programs focus on empowering lives instead of impoverishing them.
** The Stepping Stone Cottage houses (SSCH) are independently owned and operated. Fostering Your Families Future and (SSCH) are separate entities and, as such, although they may share clientele from time to time, their finances and bookkeeping are separate.
