Located in York County, the Home offers temporary shelter, compassionate support, and individualized care for every child. Since its establishment by the Rock Hill Ministerial Association, the Home has provided temporary shelter for more than 8,500 children. The Home opened its doors in 1970 and continues to serve youth in foster care from any county in South Carolina and young adults facing homelessness from

North and South Carolina.

Every young person who comes to the Children Attention Home is unique and receives resources and attention to meet their individual needs. During their stay, the Home provides holistic care to ensure youth can progress, begin to heal, and move forward from the trauma of their past. Youth work on skills focused in the areas of basic living, education, workforce preparedness, independent living, and participate in community and school activities based on their interests. 

With help from local donors and supporters, the Home is able to provide these teens and young adults with exciting and unique experiences, such as attending professional sports games, local restaurants, movies, museums, arts classes, going on camping and beach trips, and many other activities that they would normally not have the opportunity to attend in the past.

The three cottages on the Home's main campus are licensed by the South Carolina Department of Social Services and collectively serve up to 32 children at any one time. On average, youth will remain with the Home for 3-6 months, with stays ranging from a few weeks to over two years.
