A House That Ruth Built Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is poised to bridge the gaps in homeless & at risk youth programming by offering a holistic approach to service delivery. Simply offering teens a roof over their heads is not enough. Today’s youth need instruction on character as well as skill building. Finding permanent solutions to temporary circumstances is the mantra under which AHTRB operates. We seek to engage community youth and prepare them to become contributing members of society.
