                        RECOGNIZING HUTTON HOUSE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GEORGE RADANOVICH

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 5, 2006

  Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Hutton House, 
a State-licensed youth shelter, for providing 30 years of steadfast 
commitment to troubled teens and their families in Central California.
  Hutton House began in 1976 with the goal of providing a safe, 
temporary shelter for runaway, homeless. and youth in crisis. In 
addition to providing the shelter, it is also a goal of Hutton House to 
provide resources aimed at keeping these youth off the streets, out of 
the criminal justice system and to aid in mending relationships with 
their families.
  For the past 30 years, Hutton House has made great strides to meet 
and expand its original goals. The center has been remodeled to 
accommodate up to eight youth, and some of the services they now offer 
are: individual, group and family counseling; meals and snacks for both 
residential and non-residential clients; bus passes and transportation 
to medical appointments; coordination of medical, dental and counseling 
services; youth development activities; reunification planning so that 
youth can return home or to another permanent housing situation; 
substance abuse intervention; and parent education. Hutton House is 
currently the only facility helping youth from Stockton to Fresno and 
from the foothills to the Bay area.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Hutton House for 30 years of 
dedication and philanthropy to troubled youth and their families. I 
urge my colleagues to join me in wishing Hutton House years of 
continued beneficence and success.
