Building Stronger Families and Communities Since 1963
About us
The heart of our work at Abbott House is dedicated to helping human beings recover from deep trauma, or intervening to prevent and minimize trauma in the first place. We support nearly 2,500 children in foster care, unaccompanied immigrant children, struggling families and adults with developmental disabilities in the New York Metropolitan Area and the Hudson Valley. We build lasting foundations to support children, families and adults with complex needs. They frequently come to us from trauma-ridden pasts and often have lost their sense of place in the world. They come to us with the notion of a future that is stalled in the present. Our goal is to help them create a durable sense of family, home and community, and prepare them for a promising future. Family comes first at Abbott House. We work hard to reunite families and create new ones so those entrusted to our care feel a sense of belonging rooted in hope and community.

The Abbott House Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Justine Christakos as incoming CEO and President, effective July 1, 2024. Ms. Christakos will be succeeding James L. Kaufman, who is retiring after serving more than 11 years as current President and CEO. "We could not possibly be more delighted by the appointment of Justine. She is the perfect individual to build on James's remarkable accomplishments at this venerable organization whose ultimate purpose is to help people help themselves," said Walter Montgomery, Chair of the Abbott House Board. "She is a model of selfless commitment to children, families, and adults who struggle with intellectual and developmental disabilities. From her beginnings as a dedicated caseworker to her leadership roles with critical impact on policies of treatment and care, Justine has forged better futures for people faced with challenges that most of us cannot truly imagine." Reflecting on her new role, Ms. Christakos shared, “It has been an honor to dedicate 32 years of my life to the social services sector, with the past eight years at Abbott House shaping my journey from direct service to executive leadership. This new position affords me a greatly expanded opportunity to champion the rights and potential of every individual we serve. I am eager to lead Abbott House alongside our remarkable team as we continue to carry out the agency’s 60-year-old mission of service to others.” Please join us in congratulating and welcoming Justine Christakos as our new President and CEO!
