The Children's Home of Poughkeepsie is a mid-sized nonprofit in the field of individual and family services, based in Poughkeepsie, New York. The organization traces its origins to 1847, when local women formed the Poughkeepsie Orphan House and Home of the Friendless to care for poor, abandoned, and neglected children. Today it provides a broad range of services for at-risk children and their families across New York State. It is licensed by state agencies including the New York State Office of Children & Family Services, the New York State Office of Mental Health, and the New York State Department of Health. 

The Home operates both community-based and residential programs aimed at promoting the well-being and stability of children. Its mission is to empower children and families to achieve optimal health and well-being, with a long-standing focus on nurturing environments. A recent development is the 2025 launch of AnchorPoint, a Children's Crisis Residence Program designed to support children experiencing psychiatric crises. The organization employs a mid-sized workforce to carry out these services.
