Whitmarsh House

Our History: Answering a Need Whitmarsh House traces its beginnings to a residence of the Brothers of Our Lady of Providence on Whitmarsh Street in Providence. A Family Court Judge was desperate for a placement for a few boys who had to be removed from a chaotic family home. He asked the Brothers for help and they said yes. By 1975, Whitmarsh House became incorporated as a nonprofit agency serving the needs of at-risk youth. We currently serve approximately 35 boys and young men ages 12 to 20 as well as adults with developmental disabilities.
