The Foundry Home is a program of the Cavern City Child Advocacy Center, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit agency. Foundry Home is a temporary shelter for runaways, homeless children, trafficked teens, and foster kids aged twelve to seventeen years old. There are ten beds in the home, and the youths receive round-the-clock services for 21 days until permanent (safe) accommodations can be secured. Foundry Home is a network of support for the youths of Carlsbad and Southeastern New Mexico. Individual and family counseling, medical care, school support, career exploration, life skills, enrichment activities, and more fall under the umbrella of services available to the youths who cross the threshold of the home. In addition to being an all-around phenomenal program, the youths and staff at Foundry Home endured a two-week lockdown due to a COVID-19 exposure. Four youths and two staff members sheltered in place at the home during the last part of July and early August. For fourteen days, the kids and staff passed the hours in new cooking adventures, movie marathons, and art projects. Focus visited with youth at Foundry Home to talk about their experience during this time; one young lady (names are not used to protect the kids) explained that the lockdown was not a chore. The lockdown allowed her and the other residents to spend more time with staff members. “The staff is really nice,” she said. Her favorite film of the movie marathon was Secretariat because horses are her favorite animal, and she would love to explore a career as a veterinarian.
