New Life Village is an intergenerational residential community where families seeking permanency for children impacted by foster care or trauma can heal and thrive in a safe and stable environment. The Village is home to approximately 100 people, ranging in age from birth to 90. Our Village works at the intersection of health, housing, child welfare, and aging – areas that have traditionally been treated separately in the social sector. With the community itself serving as the intervention, New Life Village brings children, families, and elders together within an intentional, vibrant community where intergenerational connection is the key to well-being. Seniors living at our Village enjoy their intentional retirement by serving as surrogate grandparents and extended family, tutors, elders, mentors and support to Village parents and children.
