New Life Village (NLV), founded in 2012 and is located in Tampa, Florida – an area which is heavily impacted by both an affordable housing and foster care crises. NLV is an intergenerational community designed to support families raising foster to permanency and kinship children who have survived abuse, neglect and trauma, offering them program-rich, below-market housing and onsite wrap-around services. We offer mission based affordable housing as an incentive to the caregivers and seniors caring for these children. Senior citizens also live in the Village serving as surrogate grandparents, tutors and mentors. The Village promotes permanency, safety, community, healing and caring relationships within a trauma informed community. NLV hosts an onsite Wellness, Resilience and Character Development Program. Our holistic community approach leverages the power of place, permanence, and shared social purpose to improve residents' housing stability, access to health resources, educational attainment, and community connection. We exist to reduce the number of children in foster care by encouraging more families to adopt or to prevent children from entering foster care. NLV was recognized by the Florida Civic Advance with the 2019 Honorable Mention FCA Civic Excellence Award for Intergenerational Civic Engagement. New Life Village is the only community of its kind in Florida! Mission: We provide a residential community where families seeking permanency for children impacted by foster care or trauma can seek healing in a safe and stable intergenerational Village.
