Community Based Services

We support children, teens, and families across Kentucky through community based programs that strengthen families, build life skills, expand access to mental health care, and provide safe, supportive homes.

Independent Living Program

Our Independent Living Program offers a safe and supportive environment for young adults ages 18 to 21 who are homeless or were in state care on their 18th birthday. The goal is to help each young person transition into stable, successful adulthood.

  • Safe housing: a secure home with expenses covered so participants can focus on growth
  • Career development: guidance and resources to explore careers, build job skills, and secure employment
  • Education support: help accessing college, vocational training, and other education pathways
  • Independent living skills: training in financial literacy, time management, and self care

Eligibility expectations: participants must be working toward a high school diploma or GED, enrolled in higher education, or employed to maintain eligibility.

Family Preservation Program

The Family Preservation Program, also called FPP, is a short term, family based crisis intervention program focused on improving parenting skills, strengthening family functioning, and keeping children safe. We work to prevent child removal and support reunification when a child returns from foster care.

Program highlights:

  • Keeping families together: therapeutic support designed to reduce trauma and disruption
  • Comprehensive support: interventions tailored to the needs of each family
  • Eligibility: families must be referred by the Department for Community Based Services, also called DCBS, and reside in eligible counties listed below

Funding for this program is in whole or in part from federal, CHFS, or other state funds.

Eligible counties

  • Barren
  • Butler
  • Edmonson
  • Hart

Therapeutic Foster Care and Adoption

We believe nothing is more critical to a child than a safe, loving home. Our Therapeutic Foster Care Program provides stability for children with unique environmental, emotional, and educational needs. We offer intensive training and 24 7 support so foster families are never alone.

Support for foster families includes:

  • Therapy and case management tailored to each child
  • Specialized training focused on trauma informed care
  • 24 7 support from our team
  • Financial reimbursement including competitive daily reimbursements, certification bonuses, monthly stipends for clothing and incidentals, and mileage reimbursement for transportation
  • Home Resource Coordinator assigned to each foster home for ongoing support and training

Respite care option: not ready to foster full time. You can provide respite care by hosting a child for a short period, often 2 to 4 days, to support foster families and create positive experiences for youth.
