About Homes For Black Children
Our Story
Homes for Black Children (HBC) is a comprehensive child welfare agency with a rich history of providing services to children of all ethnicities. HBC is best known for its ground-breaking, evidence-based practice in creating permanent outcomes for African American children through Adoption and Family Preservation Services. Founded in 1969, the agency was developed to eliminate the number of African American children in Detroit who languished in foster care. Black children were disproportionately represented in the child welfare system. They entered the system at twice the rate of other populations, and their stay was twice as long. Their parents were least likely to receive supportive services for family reunification. Although this still holds true, HBC expanded its services to include children and families of all races and ethnicities. Our commitment to equity, compassion, and family remains the cornerstone of everything we do."
Our Mission
At HBC, our mission is to provide safe, nurturing, and supportive homes for children in need by connecting them with compassionate foster and adoptive families. Our person-centered approach focuses on empowering families, honoring cultural identities, and promoting healing through trauma-informed care, advocacy, and lifelong support. Our work is guided by the belief that every child deserves love, stability, and the opportunity to thrive.
“No child without a permanent home.”
Our Community
Today, Homes for Black Children (HBC) has grown into a diverse and inclusive community that proudly serves children and families of all races and ethnicities. Located in the great City of Detroit, HBC's main focus is on the Metropolitan Detroit Area – Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. The Agency provides its Foster Care, Adoption, and Family Reunification services through 'A Child’s Best Interest' criteria in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Partnering with other child-caring agencies, schools, churches, fraternal organizations, businesses, and other entities in our local community, HBC strives to ensure that all children and families served receive the services needed for success.
