the heart of our city
Home of the Innocents (the Home) is where Louisville’s vulnerable children find
emotional, physical and intellectual support that can transform their lives.
The Home provides our community with a range of important residential, treatment
and community-based programs. Our programs include offering a safe haven for
at-risk children; pediatric medical care; shelter and education for pregnant and
parenting teens; crisis and intervention services; clinical treatment services and
therapeutic loving foster and adoption services.
The Home also operates a pediatric convalescent center for children who are
dependent on technology to sustain life, as well as children who are terminally ill.
Thanks to our many supporters, we operate world-class facilities that impact
children’s lives throughout our region.
For many of these children, this is where hope begins. The Home really is the heart
of our city.
