Taylor’s path home has not been an easy one. However, despite the many challenges and setbacks she experienced, she never gave up on her dreams. Taylor continued to advocate for herself and for others who had gone through similar circumstances until she obtained her first-ever home!🏠❤️
Today, Taylor is a leader in her community, working for several nonprofits as a Community Organizer and Advocate for women. 👏 We can’t think of anyone more deserving of this beautiful #HomeCreation than Taylor and her adorable twin boys! Welcome home Taylor!❤️❤️❤️

Did you know that #asenseofhome has two women founders? And that 76% of #ASOH’s leadership are women? Today on #InternationalWomensDay and all month long during #WomensHistoryMonth, we are shining a light on some of the women who have made A Sense of Home what it is today. 🥳❤️🏠
This year’s #WHM theme, “Women who advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion” couldn’t be more fitting to ASOH’s rich history, mission, and legacy. Join us this month as we honor the women who have inspired ASOH and who continue to lead ASOH as we grow our team, expand our services, and continue to make an impact on the lives of former foster youth. ❤️❤️❤️
How precious is Angela’s family!? Help us welcome home Angela and her three beautiful children Gianna, Jacob, and baby Lydia. ❤️❤️❤️
The #ASOH team was joined by many first-time and long-time volunteers who had a blast creating a home for Angela. 🏠🥳
We are extremely proud of all that she has accomplished and are inspired by her aspirations to become a foster mom AND a social worker. With this new foundation of home and the #asenseofhome community to support her, we have no doubts that Angela will achieve great things!👏
#fosteryouthempowerment #homelessnessprevention #communitypowered #volunteer
Congratulations to Angela and her beautiful family for achieving this significant milestone! 👏❤️
Angela has overcome many obstacles in her life. At just 14 years old, she exited the foster care system and due to a lack of a support system in place, she fell into homelessness with her first child.
Despite the challenges, Angela persevered and sought out the necessary assistance and resources she needed to get to where she is today - home.🏠💕
Thank you to the fantastic team of #ASOH volunteers who played a vital role in making Angela’s #HomeCreation a reality!🫶

February 14th - 20th marks the annual celebration of Random Act of Kindness Week! 🥰 This week is a celebration and reminder of the many ways in which we can spread kindness and positivity to others through small simple acts.
Did you know #asenseofhome started as one random act of kindness? In 2014, ASOH Founders @georgiesmith_home and @melissgoddard, met a young man who needed their help. Georgie and Melissa rallied their community and together they were able to complete their very first #HomeCreation - and the rest is history! To date, #ASOH has created 900+ homes for former foster youth and their families! 🏠❤️

This #BlackHistoryMonth are you looking for a definitive voice on how to best honor and celebrate this important month?
We at #ASOH look to @nicoleavantofficial whose truly inspirational book, “Think You’ll Be Happy” is placed in every home we create. Yesterday on #InternationalBookGivingDay we shared how we aspire to install a Love Library (see link in bio) in every home and the most important book is Ambassador Nicole Avant’s book. We urge everyone to watch Nicole’s groundbreaking documentary, “The Black GodFather” on her beloved father, the late Clarence Avant (streaming on #Netflix). You may have seen “The Black GodFather”, Clarence honored recently at the Grammys. We cannot recommend this documentary more strongly.
There is a very powerful @Oprah interview with Nicole in the @HBO series, “Own Spotlight”. There are countless other podcasts and interviews with Ambassador Nicole that we find deeply insightful and educational that can all be found at @nicoleavantofficial.
Ambassador Nicole Avant was #asenseofhome’s very first donor which enabled ASOH to buy its very first truck and move from a series of random acts of kindness to a startup nonprofit! Now as we scale to new regions, Nicole remains ASOH’s most steadfast champion, mentor, and guiding light.m ASOH is blessed for the remarkable wisdom and brilliance of this unique woman, public servant, philanthropist, producer, and author.
Please click the link in our bio titled, “what’s inspiring us” to learn more about this amazing book, “Think You’ll Be Happy”. The gifts of this book are endless. As are the gifts of Nicole herself. We are forever indebted to the munificent Ambassador Nicole.
Valentine’s Day holds a special meaning for #asenseofhome, it represents more than just romantic love, it signifies the demonstration of love and appreciation for our neighbors and communities – a celebration of our shared humanity.💞
With every home we create, we are deeply moved again and again by the loving community that #ASOH has cultivated. 🥰
