Introducing our Executive Director, Julian Jude!

Huntsville native. Two decades in Alabama child welfare — from Butler High to Alabama A&M (BSW, then MSW), through Neaves Davis, into the Alabama Department of Human Resources as a Child Abuse and Neglect Investigator and then Supervisor, and most recently at Behavioral Health Group before taking the helm here. Julian’s work is guided by one line he’s repeated for years: to empower individuals to discover self-worth, embrace personal growth, and reach their fullest potential.

⭐️ Community Spotlight ⭐️

Our residents recently had the privilege of meeting with the Alabama A&M University Honors Program! They shared valuable information about college opportunities, scholarships, campus involvement, and ways our residents can begin preparing for their future goals.

We are so thankful for community partners who invest their time into encouraging and empowering our youth to dream big and pursue higher education.

It is with heavy hearts that we extend our deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Leon Frazier.

Dr. Frazier was a pillar in the Huntsville community, across the State of Alabama, and internationally through his lifelong commitment to human services. For decades, he faithfully provided counsel, wisdom, and leadership to Harris Home for Children, leaving an enduring impact on the organization and the countless lives it serves.

He will be sorely missed.

We are praying for comfort, peace, and strength for his family during this very difficult time.

🕊️💙
