Overview

Chartered in 1888, CSPH’s mission is to maintain a family environment that fosters the physical, educational, social-emotional, and spiritual development of each child. CSPH is a private, nonprofit and non-discriminatory child caring agency that provides community-based child welfare services including supportive education, health & wellness programs and 24-hour, state approved residency for vulnerable youth. The 35 acre campus is located in the Adamsville neighborhood and has an administration building, five cottages where the youth live, a dining room, two outdoor play areas, a meadow for large group/team activities, and a pavilion for cook outs. The 27,155 square foot Ollivette Eugenia Smith Allison Life Learning Center is fully equipped with a five lane/25 yard indoor swimming pool, a gymnasium, a chapel, computer lab, classrooms, a kitchen and multipurpose room. The Carrie Steele – Pitts Home is a place like none other. We invite you to visit us, to share a meal with the children, to listen to their stories, to witness the love and respect for others. You will be forever changed by the experience. We hope you will join us in preserving the legacy of the Carrie Steele – Pitts Home as we continue to enhance our services. We look forward to seeing the delight on the children’s faces as they run and play, create works of art, study a new subject, or just have fun with each other. We welcome your participation and your involvement in the future of thousands of young people in our community. Your generous support will make great things possible in the lives of our children. All contributions to the Carrie Steele – Pitts Home are tax deductible and may be paid over a three-to-five year period. For larger gifts, particularly designated of memorial gifts, arrangements may be made to extend the pledge payment period over a longer time.
