Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Therapeutic residential program for troubled/abused teen girls preparing for independent living. Program is presently offered in two regions of the state and this expansion in to another region will offer services closer to teen's home and open much needed space in the two existing programs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Currently providing services to 180 teens statewide per year - expansion would allow services to an additional 35 teens per year.
