The world’s first-ever gated community dedicated entirely to neglected and abused children is being built right now in Florida. The gated community, expected to open in April, will have eight homes plus a common area community building – all for housing Florida’s neglected and/or abused children.

Now, the organization is taking those volunteer efforts to the next level.

The streets were there, as was the electrical and even some of the foundations had been poured when Nana’s House was given the property and everything on it. Since then, it’s just been a matter of gathering up businesses who want to invest in the community. The first house is being constructed by a local builder strictly as a donation.

Nana’s House For sure, the world’s first ever entirely gated community for neglected and/or abused children is a triumphant accomplishment. Each home will house five children who could be on site for as short as a day - or as long as to the day they turn 18. And each house will have a Christian couple serving as houseparents.
