"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform
you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn
to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."
(ROMANS 12:2) (NLT)
4. ~ Mission and Purpose ~
Our Mission.........
"All Things New, Inc. mission is to provide transitional living, develop
and implement programs and resources for young adults while
providing a new way of experiencing life."
Our Purpose….
To be an overall support system for young adults, who have aged out
of foster care or who are in need of assistance transitioning into
adulthood and into the real world on their own. We strive to be that
beacon of hope and that ray of sunshine that they seek on this new
journey of life in which they now travel.
What Exactly Is Foster Care?
"Foster care is temporary care for children who have the ultimate goal
of returning home to their birth parents or other relatives. Foster
parents play a vital role in understanding the needs of the children
during these difficult times, and their help, intervention, and
nurturing can make all the difference to a child in need."

6. Dear Supporters,
I give thanks to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for entrusting me with the vision of All Things New,
Inc. I thank all that have shown interest in this organization's effort to end homelessness in the lives of
young adults.
The ground breaking idea of All Things New,Inc. started in 2007. It was placed on my mind and my
heart to help others. I didn't know what or how and I dismissed the thought from my mind. In 2009, my
mind and heart started the process again as I drove back and forward to work, passing an abandoned
hotel, the Capital Plaza on Capital Blvd., here in Raleigh. I told my husband, Wallace, I didn't understand
why a hotel was abandoned while there were so many homeless people who could benefit from it. I
continued to pass this hotel and just keep thinking, "how sad." I went to my husband and told him
someone was going to give me that hotel and I'm going to help the homeless; he said that was a "good
idea." As my husband didn't want to tell me no one was going to give me a hotel, he just said, "good
idea."
In December 2010, the hotel was sold. When that happened, I was excited, because I was still of the
mindset that someone was going to give it to me to help the homeless. After the sale of the hotel, what I
did next, now as I think of it, I laughed. I called Mr. Bill Brar (owner of a Fayetteville Hotel), who
purchased the Capital Plaza for 1.5 million dollars. I received his receptionist on the other end of the
phone. I asked what the plans were for the hotel. The reply was,"What is your name and telephone
number?" After giving my information and details of why I was concerned,the next statement from the
receptionist was,"We will pass this information on and someone will get back to you." In 2012, I was still
waiting for someone to get back to me and the hotel was still sitting abandoned.
The year 2012, the idea of helping others became stronger, as now I had a target population; Young
Adults, ages 18-22, the ones that seem so often to be forgotten for many different reasons, such as having
been in foster care. I took the time to look for the definition of foster care and got the basic meaning,
'temporary placement." I then looked for the word ‘foster’, which is defined as, “to provide a child with
care and upbringing,to encourage and to keep a feeling or thought alive.” The vision and purpose of All
Things New,Inc. is not to be about temporary placement, but to nourish, encourage and teach.
I reach out to you as the people, the body of our nation, state,counties and cities, to "Step outside of
oneself, remove any selfish egos and instead have a steadfast passionate heart and have a positive
regard/caring for these young adults’ future.
Revelation 21:5… And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said
unto me, write: for these words are true and faithful.
Respectfully,
Patricia Holland
Patricia Holland, President
7. ~ Stats— The United States of America ~
Of the 400,000 children in foster care currently, over 20,000 have a case goal
of emancipation.
The percentage of youth that age out of foster care has increased. In 2000, the
percentage of exits due to aging out was 7 percent. In 2011, 11 percent of the
children who exited foster care aged out.
Without family or any other dependable adults to rely on for assistance,
these young people are at high risk of homelessness, joblessness, illness,
incarceration, welfare dependency, early childbearing, and sexual and
physical victimization.
According to various studies across the country of young people who have aged
out of foster care without a permanent family:
12-30% struggled with homelessness
40-63% did not complete high school
25-55% were unemployed; those employed had average earnings below
the poverty level, and only 38 percent of those employed were still
working after one year
30-62% had trouble accessing health care due to inadequate finances or
lack of insurance
32-40% were forced to rely on some form of public assistance and 50
percent experienced extreme financial hardship
31-42% had been arrested
18-26% were incarcerated
40-60% of the young women were pregnant within 12-18 months of
leaving foster care.

11. ~ Foster Care Facts ~
Some foster children will never go back to their birth family. But every child
deserves a "forever family."
Who Are the Children?
Thousands of children in North Carolina enter the foster care system each year, and
range in age from infants to 18 years old. All foster children have unique backgrounds,
experiences,personalities, strengthsand needs.
Some children in foster care require extensive care for physical or emotional
handicaps and disabilities.
Some also require helpwith undisciplined and delinquent behaviors. Most foster
children do not have a strong sense of belonging or self-worth.Many have been victims
of physical or sexual abuse. All children who are in foste r care require special care,
support and nurturing.

Youth That Age Out of Foster Care
Young people transitioning out of the foster care system are significantly affected by
the instability that accompanies long periods of out-of-home placement during
childhood and adolescence. The experiences of these youth place them at a higher risk
for unemployment, poor educational outcomes,healthissues, early parenthood, long-
term dependency on public assistance,increased ratesof incarceration, and
homelessness.
Approximately 20,000-25,000 young people age out of the foster care system each
year; many without family or economic support (Allen, M. & Nixon, R., 2000).
According to the 2000 Census, nearly 4 million people ages of 25-34 live with their
parents due to economic realities--jobs are scarce, and housing is expensive.
Unfortunately,foster youth do not always have the option of turning to their families
for support. Alone, these young people are confronting the harsh reality of the gap
between the wages they earn and the cost of housing (White, R., 2003). As a result,
youth aging out of the foster care system is becoming homeless at disconcertingrates.
Anywhere from 12% to 36% of young people transitioning out of the system,
experience homelessness (Cook, 1991; Courtney & Pilivian, 1998; Reilly, 2003). As
many as 3 in 10 of the nation's homelessadults have a history in foster care (Roman
& Wolfe, 1995). Young people aging out of public systems are confronted with critical
housing needs that, left unaddressed,have the potential to cause irreparable harm.

12. ~ HUD'S SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROGRAM ~
The Program
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has devised what is
called the Supportive Housing Program (SHP). The Supportive Housing Program is
authorized by Title IV, Subtitle C, of the McKinney-Vento HomelessAssistance Act of
1987, as amended. It is designed as part of a local Continuum of Care strategy. A
Supportive Housing Program Desk Guide has been compiled, which emphasizes the
key components of the overall program.
The Purpose
The purpose of the Supportive Housing Program is to promote the development of
supportive housing and supportive services,including innovative approaches to assist
homeless persons in the transition from homelessness,and to promote the provision
of supportive housing to homelesspersons to enable them to live as inde pendently as
possible.
SHP has four program components and two project types to help homeless people
achieve independence.Program components include Transitional Housing, Permanent
Housing, Supportive Services Only and Innovative Supportive Housing. Applicants
may choose whichever approach best suits the needs of the people they intend to
serve.
Three Basic Goals
HUD has established three basic goals for each SHP project:
1. To help program participants obtain and remain in permanent housing;
2. To help participants increase skills and/or income. Meeting this goal will allow
the participants to secure an income to live as independently as possible; and
3. To help participants achieve greater self-determination. The condition of
homelessnessitselfcan be damaging to one’s self-determination; achieving a
greater sense of self-determination enables the participant to gain needed
confidence to make the transition out of homelessness."

13. ~ The Transitional Housing Component ~
Transitional Housing
Transitional housing (TH) is a type of supportive housing used to facilitate the
movement of homeless individuals and families to permanent housing. Basically, it is
housing in which homelesspersons may receive supportive services that enable them
to live more independently.The supportive services may be provided by the
organization managing the housing or coordinated by them and provided by other
public or private agencies.Transitional housing can be provided in one structure or
several structures, at one site or in multiple structures at scattered sites.
Homeless individuals and families may reside in transitional housing for up to 24
months. However,if permanent housing for the individual or family has not been
located or if the individual or family requiresadditional time to prepare for
independent living, they remain for a period longer than 24 months. Assistance may
be discontinued for a transitional housing project if more than half of the homeless
persons remain in the project longer than 24 months. Program regulations can be
found at 24 CFR 583.300(j).
Transitional housing participants can continue to receive follow-upservices from the
transitional housing facilityfor up to six months after they leave the program. Services
may still be needed whena family moves to permanent housing, and these services
can be tapered off or provided through other funding streams as the family makes the
transition.
Movement from Transitional to Permanent Housing
Housing placement assistance should be part of any transitional housing project in
order for the project to meet the program goals. Transitional housing residents may
need assistance withall the tasks and stress involved in locating, obtaining, moving
into, and maintaining the housing. Discrimination in the housing market may make
the situation more difficult. Without third-party intervention, some graduates may
resort to renting substandard or inappropriate housing or relapse into homelessness.
A comprehensive approach to locating housing includes preparing and training clients
in searching for, securing, and maintaining their own housing, developing
relationships with local producers and managers of housing to which graduates could
move, and helping clients establish a savings plan so they can afford to move.
