About Us

More Than a House — A Place to Belong

We want Grace & Purpose Living to feel like a home first: a place for ordinary days, familiar routines, laughter, patience, and steady encouragement. Every child deserves to be treated with respect, understood as an individual, and given room to grow.

Why We Began

Inspired by Family. Built with Purpose.

Grace & Purpose Living grew from a journey shared by our entire family. As a husband and wife raising three boys together, we have learned how much love, patience, consistency, and understanding matter in helping children feel secure and valued.

One of our sons has autism, and our experiences as parents have deepened our appreciation for each child's individual strengths, needs, and potential. We work together to give all three of our boys the same unconditional love, respect, encouragement, and sense of belonging.

Together, we founded Grace & Purpose Living to bring those family-centered values into our vision for a supportive residential home for children with developmental disabilities. We want children to be known for who they are, not just for a diagnosis or the support they need. Our proposed program is still in development and subject to licensing and other approvals.

Why the Name?

Grace & Purpose

Grace reflects the kindness, patience, acceptance, and unconditional compassion that guide our family.

Purpose reflects our belief that every child has value, strengths, and opportunities to grow in their own way.

Together, these values guide our vision of a home where every child can feel seen, supported, and encouraged.

A Place to Grow. A Place to Belong.

Our Approach

Care with Heart. Support with Purpose.

No two children are alike, and we don’t believe their care should be either. Some children feel most comfortable with a familiar routine. Others need more time, a quieter space, or a different way to communicate. We want to get to know each child, understand what helps them feel secure, and build on the things they already do well.

Individualized Support

We plan to learn what works for each child and follow an individualized plan shaped by their needs, strengths, and goals.

Everyday Life Skills

Getting dressed, helping with a meal, keeping a room tidy, or learning to ask for help—small steps can make a big difference.

Connection & Community

We want children to have time for play, friendships, outdoor activities, and the everyday moments that make a house feel like home.

Programs & Services

Our Planned Residential Program

We are planning a small, home-like setting for up to six boys, ages 8–16, with autism and other intellectual or developmental disabilities. Our hope is to offer the kind of steady, caring environment where children can settle into a routine, feel understood, and make progress at their own pace.

Depending on each child’s needs and approved care plan, everyday support may include help with personal routines, communication, social skills, recreation, and learning to do more independently. We also hope to work closely with parents, guardians, schools, and other professionals so the people supporting a child are working toward the same goals.

The program is being developed in the Union County / greater Charlotte area under 10A NCAC 27G .5600B. The proposed capacity and services are subject to licensing and other required approvals.

Important: The program is in development. We are not yet licensed to operate this residential service, and no residential services are being provided.
Working Together

Families Are Part of the Story

As parents, we know that no one understands a child quite like the people who love and care for them every day. We want families to feel heard, not left out of important conversations.

As we develop the program, our goal is to build open, respectful relationships with parents and guardians, listen to what they know about their child, and share progress and concerns clearly. A child should never have to start from scratch every time the adults around them change.

The Little Things Matter

A Home for Everyday Moments

A familiar morning routine. A favorite game after school. A calm place to unwind. Someone who notices when a child is having a hard day—and celebrates when something finally clicks.

Those everyday moments are part of the home we hope to create. We want children to feel comfortable being themselves while they learn, connect with others, and grow in confidence.

Preparing to Welcome Families
