Group Home Services

Our group home services provide 24 hour nurturing; structured and supervised care in a residential home setting. Our Residential Treatment Group Homes are located in the cities of: Azusa, Baldwin Park, Bloomington, Fontana (2), and Redlands in the counties of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside.
 
Our Residential Treatment Group Homes are fully licensed by the State of California Community Care Licensing (CCL) and equipped to care for six to twelve boys, ages 8 to 18+.
 

Our program is delivered by a team of highly trained professionals with extensive experience in such fields as child development, behavioral science, social work and residential care. Staff members, as well as residents, actively support their communities, often volunteering their time to help local organizations and causes.

Youngsters are able to heal in a safe, stable, compassionate environment, as they have access to a broad range of therapeutic and other support services including individual and group counseling, social skills development, academic and vocational assistance, psychiatric assessment, psychological evaluation, independent living skills, and recreational programs.
 
Each Ettie Lee residential home shares the common goal of helping those in their care become whole – to develop a positive self-image, along with the skills needed to become productive members of society.
 
 
            

Transitional Housing Program --THP-Plus

 

THP-Plus Transitional Housing Program Plus (THP-Plus) provides affordable housing and supportive services to youth formerly in the foster care and juvenile probation systems. The key principles of THP-Plus are:

Age appropriateness: THP-Plus programs must recognize that emancipated foster youth are legal adults and should be subject to fewer restrictions than those who are younger.

Distinct from foster care: THP-Plus programs must have program rules that are distinct from those that apply to youth currently in the foster care system.

Greatest amount of freedom possible: THP-Plus programs must allow young adults to have the greatest amount of freedom possible in order to prepare them for self-sufficiency.

Strong Emphasis on supportive services: THP-Plus is not solely a housing program. Instead, it is a supportive housing program, which regularly provides young adults a wide range of supportive services.

Eligibility criteria for emancipated foster and probation youth is 24 months unless youth is enrolled in post-secondary education and then the youth can participate for up to 36 months, rather than 24 months. Eligible youth can also participate in THP-Plus until they turn age 25. The required supportive services include Housing Services, Education and Employment and Community and Support Services.

Support services include:

  1. Case Management
  2. System of payment for utilities, telephone and rent
  3. Job readiness training and support
  4. Food and necessity allowances
  5. Educational advocacy and support
  6. Assistance in pursuing college or other post-high school training
  7. Individual and group therapy
  8. Services to build and support relationships with family and community
