ALTERNATIVE HOUSE

THE ABUSED AND HOMELESS CHILDREN'S REFUGE

Alternative House Mission & Vision

Alternative House, founded in 1972, provides support to at-risk children, youth and families through counseling, shelter, crisis intervention and neighborhood outreach.  Our programs recognize that families are interdependent and that a crisis or challenge facing one family member affects everyone.  We therefore empower children, teens and families to work together and build on their strengths.

Our Programs include:

• Emergency Shelter for Teenagers

• Community Outreach

• Assisting Young Mothers (AYM)

Our Rock the House 8K Run was a success and thank you to all who helped; runners and volunteers alike. The year our numbers were up and we were just shy of 400 runners.
