helping systems keep kids
safely with their families
(not from their families)
A child’s need for an uninterrupted sense of love and belonging
is necessary for healthy development, however our current

It’s time to rebuild together.
A story of learning, healing, loving and commitment
HeartShare St. Vincent's Services, a NY nonprofit, decided in 2017 that they were no longer willing to watch youth age out of the child welfare system with no legal connection or person who claims them. By the end of three-year permanency partnership work with Alia, 67% of the youth in the program found or made significant advancements toward permanence.
