Emergency Shelter
 The Emergency Shelter program serves children from ages 6 to 17 who have been removed from their home by the Department of Family and Children Services or local law enforcement agencies due to abuse or neglect. The emergency shelter provides short-term basic care for up to ninety days or until a more permanent home can be found for a child whose level of care need is 1-3, or for those whose level of care need has not been established.
One benefit of this program is it’s ability to serve sibling groups. Often siblings are separated when placed in foster homes. In emergency care, we are able to keep siblings together so they can grow up with some sense of family.
