Figuring out adulthood can be hard, especially when you're trying to do it without the support you need. Leave better prepared for the life you're building.

PHFC's Transition to Adult Living program gives women ages 19–26 a safe place to live while they build life skills and work toward greater independence.

If you or someone you know could benefit from TAL, we'd like to hear from you.

At the Presbyterian Home for Children, we believe every child, every family, and every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive.
We were honored to attend United Ability's Journey of Hope on Saturday at the Alys Stephens Center and enjoyed the incredible performance by Omnium Circus—a show that celebrates inclusion, joy, and the unique abilities of every person.
Our mission to help children and families build brighter futures aligns beautifully with United Ability's commitment to empowering individuals with disabilities to live full, connected, and meaningful lives. Together, we're creating communities where everyone belongs and has the opportunity to reach their God-given potential.
United Ability is special to our CEO Doug Marshall, who served as CFO there!
Thank you, United Ability, for allowing us to be part of such an inspiring day of hope, celebration, and possibility.
