The program directors with the Children's Home Society of West Virginia are asking members of the public to open their homes to a homeless teen.

"Our program is designed to last 21 days....All we ask of the host is three meals a day, and a bed, " said Jim Lopreste, a case manager with the Children's Home Society of West Virginia.

The program is government funded and gives monetary assistance.

"We don't need nurses, we don't need social workers, we need someone with a heart that loves kids and gives them a chance."

A possible host has to fill out an application form and a background check.
