Group Homes and Supervised Apartments for Teens
ESS annually cares for and supports 24 foster teens at two group homes and two supervised apartments that we operate in the Bronx. Our staff create a stable community relationship and provide surrogate parenting around the clock in each group home, including meal preparation, the assignment of chores, homework review, and discipline. In each of the two supervised apartments, two teens take a trial run at independent living while still having the supportive resources of ESS to help them through initial stumbles.
