More than just a Foster Home...

Harris Home For Children is a private, 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Agency providing Licensed full-time Foster Care Services and Crisis Support for neglected adolescent children in the Huntsville, Alabama community and around the state of Alabama.

Harris Home For Children is the only Licensed Emergency Crisis Service in the state of Alabama. When children unexpectedly find themselves without a safe space to sleep, or wondering where they will get their next meal, Harris Home For Children is the only place to turn.

Harris Home For Children seeks to provide the highest level of Foster Care, Therapeutic Care, and Educational Services through a variety of programs including our: Crisis; Basic Care; Moderate Care; BOOST!; and Behavioral Aid Programs.

Many of the children are now self-sufficient, contributing members of society as a direct result of the care and training given by our Staff and Volunteers. The Programs offered are designed to not only meet the primary needs of each child, but also to provide necessary support and guidance to help them achieve their own goals and dreams! This includes educational support, life skills training, and more.
