A County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP) workgroup found that across 45 Pennsylvania counties, 225 children slept in county children and youth
by Elise PersonA County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania workgroup found that across 45 counties, 225 children slept in county offices, hotels, or hospitals during six-month span last year.
Traditionally, when county agencies have a youth deemed complex, they’ll turn to service providers to take and house these kids.Hoffman Homes is a service provider located in Adams County. Among other things, they take in children from across PA with behavioral issues stemming from years of physical, sexual, or emotional abuse.
Van Der Groef said Hoffman Homes won’t take children that exhibit fire setting behaviors or those that are highly assaultive or destructive. Clark said it’s not uncommon for a provider to be short-staffed because employees are out on leave due to injuries from youth who are attacking them. The CCAP report highlighted different recommendations including a no eject, no reject program run through the state.
Providers have suggested opening up regional placement centers run by providers to relieve some of the responsibility from the state.
