Ennis Center for Children - Wayne County | NW Detroit

Ennis Center for Children has been working with abused and/or neglected children for over 35 years with our services reaching over 3,500 Michigan children and families in crisis annually. On any given day, we help over 300 children in our foster care program alone. In addition, with locations in Genesee, Oakland, St. Clair and Wayne County, we are a leading agency in finding adoptive families for children, including those with special needs. Ennis Center also works with delinquent teens, helping them stay safe, stay in school and on a path toward a productive adulthood. Our mission: “With the support of the community, we preserve families when possible and create new families when necessary” drives our trained, dedicated and compassionate staff as they guide children and families toward a future better than their past. Recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, Ennis Center for Children is proud to be nationally accredited by the Council on Accreditation for Children and Families (COA) and licensed by the State of Michigan. In some instances, children in foster care are unable to return to their birth family and are in need of a permanent adoptive home. Adoptive families are needed for children of all ages with an immediate need for families willing to adopt siblings, teenagers, and/or children who have special emotional, mental, educational or medical needs. Ennis Center provides adoption services exclusively for children in the foster care system and is consistently ranked as one of the top specialized adoption agencies in the state.

Homes For Black Children

Love and hope are the common threads that continue to unite families for the Homes for Black Children (HBC) Agency. Since 1969, our revolutionary programs have led to the adoption of over 1,800 children, and the return of thousands of children to their families. HBC is an intervention agency that focuses on family preservation. Many children come to HBC through the child welfare system and have suffered abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Some were born drug exposed. HBC assists with the temporary placement of children who are removed from their families. The agency works with families from whom the children were taken, to try to bring everyone back together. The agency also provides supportive counseling, pregnancy counseling, adoption services, foster care, foster home licensing, and life enrichment programs to help foster children and adopted children to adjust to life in different environments. The caring staff at Homes for Black Children is dedicated to making sure that No Child is Without a Permanent Home.

The Children’s Center

Our mission is clear: to help children and families shape their own futures. We put children and their families at the center of all that we do. Providing the most expert and compassionate care needed – so they can heal, grow and thrive.
