Who are we?
St. Joseph Children's Home, located in the St. Matthews area of Louisville, has evolved throughout the years to become a multi-faceted, child caring nonprofit licensed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky with the mission of "Giving Children a Home."
St. Joe's is no longer home to "orphans" but rather, children who have been removed from their homes because they have experienced severe abuse and neglect. St. Joe's has consistently adapted to the needs of the community and now serves children and families across four core programs: Residential Treatment Program, Therapeutic Foster Care and Adoption program, Child Development Center and BHSO services.
St. Joe's serves children in all counties of Kentucky, regardless of nationality, sexual orientation, race, or creed. Since 1849, St. Joe's has provided a safe and loving home to over 75,000 boys and girls. We will not quit until every child has a family!
