“It always surprises me when I look at the
annual budget and I recognize that the
amount of money that DHR can give to us to
operate the home. It hasn’t kept up with the

forced our board to focus most of our efforts
on fundraising.”
The Parris Home is one of two group homes
for foster children in Calhoun County, where
there are now 270 children in the care of
DHR. “There’s just such a huge need to place
children into foster case, and The Parris
Home exists because, some of these kids,
they display some behavioural issues… And
sometimes those actions are just a little too
INSIGHT
much for the families to handle, and when
that happens DHR has to look somewhere
else and we are that source.”
“We are there to try to keep them out of
medical facilities. We are there to try to give
them a loving home and give them care
providers, give them the care that they need
to go through this healing process and
recovery process and that comes with
a cost.”
