The Group Home and Independent Living Programs

The Elk Hill-Northside Group Home serves a maximum of eight court and social services referred adolescents ages 15 and older who are no longer at high risk for violence, severe aggression, sexual offense and elopement, as well as serving as a step down from the residential program. Set in a supportive community environment, daily routines are structured around independent living and transitional issues.  Starting July 2008, Elk Hill-Northside became able to accept Medicaid.

Our Elk Hill-Charlottesville Group Home opened in October of 2003 and serves up to eight young men from throughout Virginia. Historically, between 25 and 30 percent of the young men in our residential program have been from the Charlottesville area making it the perfect location for a group home. These young men work within the community while they attend school and work toward independence.  In 2008, Elk Hill-Charlottesville became the first Independent Living Program in Virginia!

Elk Hill-Spring Garden opened in November of 2007 and serves up to eight young women, ages 14-18.  The Spring Garden staff will work with these young women and their families to help them develop or rediscover a values system with a foundation of respects, responsibility, hard work, and education.  In July 2008, Elk Hill-Spring Garden became able to accept Medicaid.

All of the young men and women in our group home programs have 24-hour supervision and counseling available to them.
