Code Ann. § 52-2-602(14) (2023) defines a “Youth shelter care facility,” what GFCRH is licensed as, as follows: “means a youth care facility that regularly receives children under temporary conditions to the court, probation office, department, or other appropriate social services agency has made other provisions for the children’s care.

About

Great Falls Children’s Receiving Home

GFCRH is a private non-profit agency, established in 1966, to provide safe, temporary shelter to thousands of children, ages birth to the day a child turns 18, who have been removed from their homes of origin due to child abuse, neglect, abandonment, parental drug use, domestic violence and parental incarceration. GFCRH is a safe haven showing children that abuse is the exception- not the norm.

We operate a 7 bedroom 3 and a half bathroom home to provide safety and stability to the children entrusted to our care. We also provide tutoring services to the children all year long.

GFCRH is governed by up to a fifteen member Board of Directors. The Board determines GFCRH policies and monitors the financial and operational success of the home. The day-to-day operations of the home are overseen by a Board-appointed Executive Director.
