Types of care offered
Residential & Overnight Support
The program provides continuous, around-the-clock awake supervision to ensure children are never left unattended.
Youth are housed in a secure, home-like setting designed for short-term stays, typically ranging from one to fourteen days, to support placement transitions or prevent foster home disruptions. The program also serves as an emergency placement option, offering stability for children in state custody who are between foster homes or transitioning from inpatient or residential treatment.
Target Population
The program serves minor children from infancy through age seventeen who are currently involved in the foster care or dependency system.
It also supports Extended Foster Care (EFC) youth between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one, or up to age twenty-two for individuals with documented disabilities, who voluntarily remain in state care to complete their education or develop employment skills.
