Joshua House, a safe haven for abused, abandoned, and neglected children, offering a therapeutic residential group care program that provides a protected, nurturing, family-like environment for children twelve and younger. These children have been removed from their homes due to crisis and many have been through multiple foster homes.

   Joshua House serves children 12 years old and younger that have been significantly abused, abandoned and neglected.

Hundreds of children have passed through Joshua House since it opened in 1992. Each story of abuse and neglect is as unique as the child. With five homes on 11 acres, Joshua House promotes growth, stability, and support specific to each child’s need. Keeping sibling groups together is just one of the many ways Joshua House makes a difference.

Joshua House is a program of the Children’s Home Society of Florida, Gulf Coast Division. The caring and dedicated staff and volunteers at Joshua House provide homelike environments, love, nurturing and stability for every child in their care.
