Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Family Resources, Inc. requests the appropriation of $250,000 in one-time capital funds for renovation of a 16-bed facility.  This funding will increase capacity to a 24-bed facility.  This facility is located in Pinellas County in Juvenile Justice District V and will continue to operate as a runaway/youth crisis shelter and staff secure shelter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

Prevention and early intervention services target youth who are:  (1) habitually truant from school; (2) have run away from home or been locked out of their homes; (3) considered "out of control" by their parents or guardians; (4) exhibit chronic behaviors that require staff-secure services.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

This program would help alleviate the problems described above, reunite families, and divert youth from both the juvenile justice and child welfare systems.
