Current research indicates that providing a stable living situation can help homeless individuals maintain sobriety.

Graduation rates from high school have been linked to proficiency in reading on grade level by the 3rd grade according to recent research.

The likelihood of RO Christian families being willing to adopt disabled children is increased when long-term support services are available.

There are church volunteers in urban neighborhoods willing to tutor elementary-aged youth in reading.

RO Child Protection will continue to allow and support adoption of orphans with disabilities by Christian RO families.
