History

Agape Homes was founded in 1992 by a group of caring and visionary individuals who recognized the urgent need for local mental health treatment and support services for children and families. In June 2006, Changing Faces assumed management of Agape Homes, incorporating Changing Faces’ philosophy and structure into the Agape Homes program.
