Welcome Center
Welcome to Our Nurturing Foster Care Shelter
At our Temporary Shelter Care Facility (TSCF), we are dedicated to creating a warm, homelike environment where children and youth can find solace and stability during their transition periods. Located in a peaceful neighborhood in Sacramento County, our facility is designed to provide compassionate care and unwavering, trauma-informed support to children aged zero through 17 who are navigating the challenging period between placements.
A Safe and Supportive Environment
Our facility offers a nurturing atmosphere that mirrors the comfort of a family home with a skilled staff committed to building healthy, therapeutic relationships with the children in our care. We prioritize safety, as well as the overall emotional and physical well-being of each child, providing round-the-clock care and supervision from skilled Mental Health and Therapeutic Care Workers. Our licensed program, designed to serve children and youth for up to 10 days, ensures that every child receives the attention and support they need, 24/7.
A Look Inside
Comprehensive Care and Support
We understand that transitions can be difficult and strive to minimize the trauma associated with these changes. Our team is committed to supporting each child's journey with the empathy, dedication, and excellence they deserve. Our services include:
Mental Health Support
In-house clinicians work alongside other mental health partners to address the psychological needs of our children. We offer assessments, individual and family counseling, individual and group skill building, and continuous mental health support to foster emotional resilience.
Supervised Visits
We organize and supervise visits to help children maintain connections with their families and return to family or build relationships with future placements. This ongoing support helps ease the adjustment process and promotes a smoother transition
Case Management
Our dedicated case managers are available seven days a week to assist with the transition process. They provide personalized support, facilitate connections with new foster families or other placements, and work towards meeting every child’s needs through internal services and partnerships with the community, the county of Sacramento, and the state of California
Holistic Care Approach
We recognize that each child’s needs are unique and take a holistic approach to their care:
Medical Care
We ensure that all medical needs are addressed promptly and effectively. Our staff are prepared to support both routine and emergency medical care through collaboration with healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care
Educational Support
Our partnerships with local schools help to maintain educational continuity. We support each child’s academic needs and work to keep them engaged with their studies during their stay
Recreation and Engagement
We provide various recreational activities to promote healthy development and well-being. Our facility includes spaces for play, creative expression, and relaxation. We also take our kids into the community for fun activities such as trips to the movies, amusement parks, bowling, neighborhood parks, the library, and other fun activities.
Support for Teens
For older youth with jobs, we offer transportation, help with scheduling, and support to balance work responsibilities with their other needs. We also support teens attending Independent Living Skills Program classes and other age-appropriate activities
Spiritual Care
We respect and support the spiritual beliefs of each child and family. Whether through attendance at local churches or other spiritual practices, we ensure that their spiritual needs are met and honored
A Place of Comfort and Care
Our facility is designed to accommodate up to six children and youth at a time, allowing us to provide individualized attention and a sense of community. We are committed to making each child feel safe, valued, and supported throughout their stay.
At our TSCF, we are dedicated to easing the challenges of transition alongside their team and providing a loving environment where every child can thrive. We are here to support, guide, and nurture them every step of the way
