Mission: The mission of TuTTie’s Place is to establish and maintain a sense of family, stability and direction by enhancing the child’s adjustment to his new environment and to enhance his ability to cope with the tumultuous separation from his home and biological family. TuTTie’s Place holistically treats the mind, body and energy of each individual child, enabling him to accept and value his imperfections and by enabling him to successfully cope with society upon his graduation from foster care. TuTTie’s Place provides community-based residential foster care in a group home setting to young men, aged 14-21, in Baltimore, Maryland. We currently provide a home to 42 boys in five separate houses. We are grateful to be able to provide help and support to the youth of our community. They need all of ust as they grow into adulthood. Ideally, all children would grow up with their parents, but when that is not possible, we offer a loving home, guidance, patience and mentoring.
Target demographics: young men in foster care and young adults within our community.
Geographic areas served: Baltimore, Maryland
Programs: Greening Lives - a program to enrich lives of young adults in a nurturing environment which provides skills training and self-sufficiency and financial stability.
