title: Creative permanency planning: residential services for families.
abstract: A children's institution offers a creative program for single mothers and their families--a 24-hour child care facility on the campus that provides residential service for the entire family. Over several months, the staff helps with family problems such as income, housing, abuse and other family dysfunctions and prevention of separation. Though small, the program has experienced success and has operated on a small budget for the last 10 years.
