Clotiel Howard, founder of Hope for the Future, created a welcoming visitation center in Oklahoma City where foster children can reconnect with their parents in a warm, home-like setting. Unlike traditional DHS offices or public spaces, Hope for the Future offers furnished rooms, toys, and a Party Room for meaningful reunions. Inspired by a child in distress, Howard left her job at CASA to launch the center in 2016, relying on grants and donations. The Hope for the Future mission continues to make a lasting impact on families in need.
