Jesse’s House is a home for adolescent girls who have been removed from conditions of abuse, or adverse circumstances in order to secure their safety and well-being. In addition to providing shelter and basic care, we ensure the medical, dental, and mental health needs of each resident are evaluated, and appropriate services are provided in order to maintain their physical and mental health. We also provide academic support and life skills development to help them achieve academic success and prepare them for independent, adult life.
