Home Based Shelter Care (HBSC) provides a temporary safe haven (emergency care for up to 30 days) for youth of all ages in immediate need of care until a relative or long-term placement is found. HBSC resource families must be flexible, able provide a stable living environment, be available 24 hours a day, and help the youth feel safe and nurtured.

Respite provides short-term care to assist current resource Resource Families. Respite families are able to take in a youth, a few days at a time, to provide time for resource families to relax and take care of themselves.
