Clair's House

Teen girls unable to live with traditional foster families because of the severe abuse, neglect and loss they’ve previously suffered find safety, security, love and encouragement at Clair's House, our residential group care home. Embraced by a nurturing “family”, the girls receive educational support, mental health counseling, guidance and direction on how to live independently, and recreational opportunities. As we help the girls heal from past traumas, we guide them toward futures of positive decision-making and opportunities to thrive.
