| Project Description: | |||||||||
| KidSanctuary currently operates one shelter/group home in Royal Palm Beach. Recently the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners donated 5-acres of land to KidSanctuary where we will build a campus of four more homes and a recreation/administration building. This proposed village will allow KidSanctuary to keep children and sibling groups together in a stable home-like setting until a permanent home is found, avoiding the multiple placements many children in the foster care system are subjected to. | |||||||||
| Is this a project related to a federal or state declared disaster? | No | ||||||||
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: | |||||||||
| Children will have better school attendance and grades from being stable. Sibling groups will be kept together so they don�t loose their support system. Disruptions from traditional foster homes will be eliminated. All children will receive appropriate medical and psychological evaluations and continuing prescribed care. | |||||||||
