Youth aged 16-22 live in Transitional or Independent Living Cottages. The two Transitional Cottages have live-in married couples (houseparents) that provide daily supervision and skill building. Each resident has their own bedroom in the cottage that has up to seven other young people. Youth over 18 can move into a one-bedroom apartment in the two cottages that have a live-in Resident Advisor that provides guidance and skill building.
