Children's Receiving Home of Sacramento (CRH)

The Children's Receiving Home gives children and teens a safe place to heal, grow and find their best paths forward. We provide youth in crisis, along with their families, tools to prevail over the challenges preventing them from leading happy, healthy lives. For 82 years, CRH has been a beacon of hope for the Sacramento region and other communities in California; providing compassionate care for children and teens in plight who have nowhere else to turn. Many of the kids who arrive at our doors have experienced abuse, neglect, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. 

In addition to providing shelter, meals, and therapeutic recreation in an emotionally warm, safe and nurturing environment, we are known for our expertise in intensive mental-health treatment for traumatized and vulnerable kids aged 2-19. In 2026, in response to growing needs of young adults in our community, we plan to expand services even further, undertaking an ambitious transformation of our six-acre campus into a center for healing, hope, and prevention.
