You’ve heard about the foster care crisis.


Tampa Bay leads the state in the number of children in foster care.

The problem is too big to solve on our own.


Our Mission

Florida 1.27 is a movement of churches and individuals taking action together to radically change the foundation of the child welfare system in Florida.


Our Vision

Florida 1.27 partners with churches to engage the community to care for vulnerable children. With a strategic focus on recruiting, equipping, and providing ongoing support, Florida 1.27 works toward fulfilling its vision of having more than enough foster and adoptive families trained, supported, and available to care for vulnerable children in Florida.


CarePortal has led me to the place I always wanted to be; impacting peoples’ lives with the simple and pure gospel of Jesus, which is true and undefiled religion. LOVE!!!
— Pastor Abraham, The Resting Place Church

Our deepest desire is to solve this problem through a collaborative approach.

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” - James 1:27
