A true innovator in the development of housing opportunities for youth with emotional disturbance, Fred Finch Youth & Family services continues its leadership in the field with the development of Rising Oaks, which provides a new lease on life for 30 foster youth aging out of the child welfare system. Additionally, Fred Finch provides transitional housing for homeless youth as well as permanent housing for young adults with serious mental illness. These housing opportunities provide youth and young adults the chance to reside in a safe and secure environment while developing the necessary skills to live independently.
