Hearts & Homes for Youth has a continuum of programs which serve youth in Maryland’s Child Welfare and Juvenile Services who have been abused, neglected, or are facing a difficult path. These programs are designed to provide a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment during a significant and critical time of a young person’s life.

Our Group Homes offer long-term, community based programming for at-risk youth who are in need of therapeutic and rehabilitative services. Specialized staff members assist the youth in working toward their personal, educational and social goals. The programs offer structure and a myriad of support services necessary to help each child realize their full potential as young men and women. Learn more
