At Providence House, we keep kids safe and families together. We are Ohio's first licensed Crisis Nursery, and offer free, non-custodial emergency shelter to children newborn through ten years old, who are living in situations which place them at risk of abuse or neglect. Since we opened our doors 36 years ago, we have served over 8,000 families in crisis. We protect nearly 400 at-risk children annually, and offer round-the-clock services and children's shelter from 24 hours to 60 days, with extensions to 90 days available. An integrated model of service is offered throughout each child's stay to provide support, guidance, education and comfort to our children and families that address the specific needs of the child and parent, allowing time to stabilize crises – such as homelessness, domestic violence, medical or mental health crises – and establish a lasting family stability.
