JADA House International was founded in 2014 by Hazelwood native Terri Shields and named for the initials of her eldest grandchildren. While the focus is currently on the Hazelwood and Greater Pittsburgh communities, the International in the name is aspirational. We hope communities worldwide can see us as a model and eventually adopt our kindness, generosity, and love. There are better opportunities for impact when solutions are collaborative and across all sectors.
JADA House International is an institution that provides resources, support, and family navigation through our core programs.
We aim to encourage and empower individuals to believe, receive, and achieve the full quality of life they deserve.
