SFMI empowers adolescents aging out of social care to stand on their own by providing individual housing support and tailored education programs
The program also supports building 'Independence Support Centers' and offers education to help these adolescents navigate through life challenges. The Independence Support Centers provide basic information for independent living and job searching, and housing support.
Stepping Stone for Hope began in 2015, fifteen Independence Support Centers have opened with another currently under construction. SFMI has been participating in the Stepping Stone for Hope program since 2022.
