New Transition Homes Open for Students Preparing for Post-Secondary Life

A significant milestone in student support has been achieved with the construction of two new transition homes designed to assist students moving on from secondary school into a specialized gap year program. These homes will provide a structured environment for young adults as they prepare for university, trade school, or the workforce.

The initiative aims to bridge the gap between high school and independent adulthood by offering tailored resources, mentorship, and life skills training. Students residing in these homes will benefit from career guidance, academic preparation, and hands-on learning experiences to ensure a smooth transition into their chosen paths.

“This project is about setting students up for long-term success,” said Micah Orloff, VP of Development and Operations for Breath of Heaven Children’s Ministries. “By providing a stable and supportive environment, we are empowering young adults to take the next step with confidence.”

The two transition homes, one each for young men and young women are expected to welcome their first group of students in the coming days. Each house can house up to 8 students. Community leaders and educators have praised the project, highlighting its role in fostering independence and readiness for post-secondary life.

Opening these homes offers not only our transitioning students an opportunity to grow into independence, but also opens additional beds in our children’s village thereby preparing for God’s rescue of additional orphans from a life of hopelessness and despair.

This would not be possible without the essential charitable donations from the Breath of Heaven community of supporters. We thank God for each and every one of you.
