HomeSafe

What HomeSafe does

HomeSafe is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1979 in Lake Worth, Florida, operating across Palm Beach County and South Florida. The organization protects victims of child abuse and domestic violence through four integrated programs: Healthy Beginnings (developmental screenings and postpartum depression support for children birth through age five and their families, delivered as the designated exclusive entry agency for the Children's Services Council of Palm Beach County); Residential Group Care (intensive therapeutic services for boys and girls ages 8-17 who are victims of abuse, operated through five group homes serving 48 at-risk children across four residential campuses); SafetyNet (crisis intervention, individual and group therapy, and prevention services for domestic violence survivors and their children); and HomeSafe at Pond Place (furnished independent living housing for young adults ages 18-23 aging out of foster care who are enrolled in school).

HomeSafe is funded through individual and corporate donations, foundation grants, government contracts, and signature fundraising events including the annual Classic Rock & Roll Party (which generated $489,000 in 2023 and a record $775,000 in January 2026) and the Charity Golf Tournament ($100,000 in 2024). The organization maintains a Guardian Society recognizing cumulative gifts of $50,000 or more, with multiple $1M+ cumulative donors including the Jim Moran Foundation, Steven E. Bernstein Family Foundation, Harcourt M. & Virginia W. Sylvester Foundation, and Town of Palm Beach United Way. A legacy giving program (Connor's Circle) captures bequests, retirement asset gifts, life insurance gifts, and charitable gift annuities. Beneficiary services are provided at no cost; intake relies on referrals from the Florida Department of Children and Families and the Children's Services Council of Palm Beach County.

The organization operates from a headquarters at 2840 Sixth Avenue South in Lake Worth, with additional campuses in Boca Raton and West Palm Beach. It is nationally accredited by the Council on Accreditation, holds a Charity Navigator four-star rating, a GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency, and Nonprofits First accreditation. The organization completed a multi-year capital campaign (Healing the Hurt) in 2024 with renovations across four residential campuses. Technology infrastructure is administrative-only (donation platform, CRM, social media); the core operating model is human-delivered clinical and case management services with no proprietary AI or technology platform.
