For Young People

Services that provide a safe place to grow and heal

In 1971, Kennedy House Founders Ed Blazo and Doug Chin opened the doors of our first program on Kennedy Rd., providing a safe and family-like environment for youth in care.

Today, Kennedy House has grown into a dynamic multi-service agency. We remain focused on the importance of individual care-planning for a diverse group of clients with unique needs.
