Our Mission

The Home is dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment that improves lives and empowers at-risk children and families in the Hudson Valley and surrounding communities.

The Children’s Home of Poughkeepsie is a 169 year-old organization serving children in the foster-care system. It is a place of healing and hope for children who have suffered abuse, neglect and maltreatment.

The Children’s Home provides services to children, youth and their families in one or more of the five programs that comprise our continuum of care. The Home’s social workers and staff work closely with families to involve them in the healing process of preparing the children for return to family and/or readiness for full independence.

At the Children’s Home, we rely on community support to ensure that children receive the best care possible. Through monetary donations, gifts in kind and volunteering, the Children’s Home welcomes your involvement.
