Our goal is to help children and families who are struggling with serious emotional, social, and behavioral problems discover their ability to succeed. Children and families who arrive at The House often have exhausted every available option for remaining together.
Our main location is on a 27-acre campus at 1550 Champlin Avenue in Utica, New York. The House currently employs 400 full- and part-time staff and has more than 200 volunteers and student interns.
