The Children's Receiving Home was established in 1944, through a joint effort of the Junior League of Sacramento and the Sacramento Rotary Club. Following several downtown locations in the early years, CRH relocated in 1965 to our permanent six acre campus at 3555 Auburn Boulevard in Sacramento at the corner of Watt and Auburn.

The basic mission of the Receiving Home provides hope and healing for children and their families who suffer from the effects of abuse and neglect. The children that reside here have been abused, molested, neglected, abandoned, or have families who are otherwise unable to provide for them. The children in the program are all under the auspices of the Department of Health and Human Services and the Superior Court. Most of the children are brought here by law enforcement at the request of Child Protective Services, and for the majority of the children, it is the first time they have been removed from their home. After treatment, children leave the facility to return home, go to relatives, foster homes, or residential centers. Children who are unable to return home and must move on to a foster home or residential center are provided with pre-placement visits to ensure a comfortable and smooth transition.
