Each family that has been tentatively approved as a partner family will be appointed a nurturer from the HCHFH Nurturing Committee.  The nurturer will become the family’s advocate throughout the process of building and buying their home.  The nurturer also serves as the family’s training manager to ensure that the family attends the necessary training to prepare them for home ownership.

The nurturing program is a critical part of the Family Partnership process. It may take more than a year from the time the family is tentatively approved until they actually buy and move into their home.  The nurturer stays with the family the entire time.  This is a very rewarding part of the ministry.  It is an opportunity to see real progress and to share the difficulties and the triumphs of the partner family.  Anyone interested in becoming a nurturer should call the HCHFH office to ask for additional information and points of contact.
