Reduce Out-of-Home Placements

Providing alternative services and programs locally allows youth to:

  • Remain in school, which means they are more likely to graduate from high school.
  • Develop relationships with positive role models and mentors from their communities.
  • Age out of delinquent behavior to become productive adults.

Outcomes

Youth placed and placements

The above graph shows different numbers for placements and youth in the same year because some youth are placed into facilities more than one time per year.

Out-of-home placement is based on our deep end definition, which includes: group homes, both short and long-term residential programs, sex offender treatment, Boys Totem Town and correctional facilities.
