The name

Selah (n.)
a pause. A breath.
A place to rest.

Selah marks a pause. That's what we want our home to be for every child who comes to us: a place to stop, catch their breath and be cared for while the grown-ups work out what comes next.

Now hiring

Do work that
changes a kid's day.

We staff the house around the clock with people who are patient, steady and kind. If that's you, we'd love to meet you.
