The House of the Good Shepherd is a non-profit organization based in Utica, New York, that provides comprehensive services for children and families in crisis. Founded in 1872, the organization has evolved from an orphanage into a multi-service agency offering residential treatment, foster care, education, and community-based programs. The organization operates a residential treatment facility that serves children and adolescents who have experienced trauma, abuse, or neglect. Their therapeutic programs include individual and group counseling, psychiatric services, and specialized education through their on-campus school. The House of the Good Shepherd also manages a foster care program that places children in certified foster homes throughout central New York. Their community-based services include preventive programs designed to strengthen families and prevent out-of-home placements, as well as aftercare support for youth transitioning back to their communities. The organization employs a trauma-informed approach across all its programs and services. The House of the Good Shepherd is licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services and is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA). The organization serves approximately 700 children and families annually across its various programs and maintains partnerships with local school districts, mental health providers, and social service agencies.
