Transitional Housing...
Jane Around The World, founded in 2019, has been on a mission to meet people where they are and help them discover where they can be. Pioneering this effort is our very own, Jane Khan, at just 12 years old she had a dream to help the homeless and at-risk population. Since the start of the organization, we have delivered over 3,500 care bags to our friends on the streets and in shelters. Over the years, we have seen the parallel between homelessness and foster care, this has been very eye opening and gives us a new charge to make sustainable difference in the homeless population by way of prevention. This can be accomplished by bridging the gap for our teens aging out of foster care that does not elect to stay in extended care.
Statistically, nationwide, 30% of our kids aging out of foster care are homeless by the age of 21. When we narrow that focus to Texas, 20% are instantly homeless at the age of 18 when they willingly or forcefully leave their placement or facility. Together, we can greatly impact these numbers by providing transitional housing in a tiered program that will not only allow for a safe place to thrive but will provide opportunities to develop through employment, financial literacy, therapy, and so on. We officially closed on the transitional house property on 9/30/2022 and completed construction renovations for BETH-HARAN House in December 2023. Effective January 10, 2023, we are officially open to receiving residents - all Glory to God!
