Hutton House Settlement
www.huttonsettlement.org
Hutton Settlement is a family oriented, residential facility for mentally and physically healthy children who are non-delinquent. It is a home not an institution. Therefore, none of the children are available for adoption. The referral ages are 5-14 years, but children may remain at The Settlement until high school graduation. The program attempts to duplicate a traditional family atmosphere. Residents attend public school and are involved in the life of the community. Individual children and families, of any size, are welcome so that brothers and sisters can stay together and not be separated. Hutton Settlement provides a safe, suitable and stable environment where children can live and be loved.
