Residential Programs:
- Care Program: 80% of minors are youth immigrants ages 3 to 17.

Each resident participates in an individualized independent living curriculum focused on instruction, positive therapeutic mediations, and real-life experiences.

Residents learn basic skills such as cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry, as well as key independent living skills like completing job applications, interviewing, maintaining employment, money and time management, utilizing public transportation, and meeting housing needs. Residents also have access to treatment support and prevention services.
