37 years of Service Providing security, love, discipline, and understanding from a caring, sensitive staff in a Christian atmosphere. Our program stresses the development within a child of self-respect, self-reliance, self-discipline and spiritual well-being in an atmosphere of informality, focused upon helping the child to think for themselves and assume responsibility for their own actions.
NACCH is a Child Care Institute (CCI) licensed by the State of Alabama to "foster" 16 children:
Placement of children under our care typically come from two main sources. As a "faith based" Residential "foster" care facility, some may be recommended by local churches. However, the majority of our children are in the custody of the state. In 2006, Alabama had 6,000 children in the custody of the state living in some type of out-of-home setting. Approximately 4,100 of these children and youth live in traditional or therapeutic Foster Family Homes. Although NACCH is licensed to accept children statewide, when possible, the county or state placement agency attempts to assign children to a facility within a 40 mile radius of their immediate family. On rare occasions, NACCH has received children from as far away as the Gulf Coast.
