When a youth is set to graduate from the residential service they can be placed in the Step-down program. 


This program implements a less-restrictive environment, allowing the youth unsupervised privileges with the approval of the custodial parent and/or agency. Some of those privileges include off-grounds schooling and off-grounds employment in accordance with the resident's service plan.

If needed, Safehouse can remove a youth from the Step-down program and place them back into the residential service.
