Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Crime & Law, Half-Way Houses for Offenders & Ex-Offenders
Mission: The rutherford house residential facilities have been organized as an alternative to traditional, sometimes distant youth correctional institutions. Juveniles who come to the attention of local courts are eligible for intake consideration into either our day program or for residential placement. It is our belief that youth in trouble can benefit from highly structured treatment that works to help individuals learn how to be successful in a world outside of state custody.
Programs: Rutherford house has four homes that are operated for delinquent adolescents. Short term and long term care of approximately fifty adjudicated juveniles is provided in these homes. These individuals are usually placed in the home by juvenile court. Schooling programs for the adolescents is provided in conjunction with the caddo parish school district.
