Overview
Mission
Youth Homes supports and empowers foster youth, underserved children, adolescents, and young adults through a comprehensive range of mental and behavioral health services designed to help them and their families achieve lasting, positive change.
What it reported doing in 2024
Therapeutic Behavioral Services: Youth Homes offers short-term, intensive, individual, and family-based therapeutic coaching to address severe behavioral challenges that might otherwise result in hospitalization or placement in residential treatment facilities. A highly trained team of behavioral specialists works with children and youth ages 3-21 in their homes, schools, and communities to help reduce harmful behaviors. We serve approximately 80-100 youth annually through this program.Community-Based Services: Youth Homes' direct service providers offer mental and behavioral health support, including individual, family, and group therapy, intensive care coordination, and intensive home-based assistance for youth experiencing trauma and significant behavioral challenges who are at risk of losing housing or school placement. The clinicians, coaches, and behavioral specialists collaborate closely with the youth, adolescents, young adults, and their families or caregivers to ensure they receive appropriate services and support to stabilize their circumstances. Services are available to youth aged 5 through adulthood up to age 26, who have Medi-Cal coverage across Contra Costa County.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
