About Youth Homes
Since 1965 Youth Homes has helped transform the lives of young people, led by our vision of a
world where former foster kids lead healthy, productive lives.
Mission: Youth Homes provides a safe place for foster youth to heal and grow.
Our agency is the oldest continually operating children’s residential program in Contra Costa
County. While the original Youth Homes model of group homes remains at the heart of who we
are, we have also evolved to meet the changing needs of the children and families we serve. In
addition to intensive residential programs, we provide a variety of community-based mental health
services to youth, which includes fully integrated post-residential treatment support, family-based
and Transitional Age Youth services.
