The new facility was complete in early 2023 and integrates all of D.A. Blodgett-St. Johns’ children and family services under one roof. The organization stated that a more efficient use of employee time, while improving collaborations across the organization, is expected to result in better outcomes for the children and families that D.A. Blodgett-St. Johns (DABSJ) serves.

The integrated campus features larger programming space, administrative offices, large kitchen, and educational and wellness space for the 7,000 children and families DABSJ serves on average every year. The new structure will provide critical operating space, a centralized medical clinic and classrooms equipped with upgraded utility systems that will drive further cost savings for DABSJ.

D.A. Blodgett for Children and St. John’s Home merged in 2010, forming DABSJ. The organization supports children and families with a range of needs through mentoring, behavioral health, family preservation, foster care, adoption and residential treatment.
