Two five-space short term community-based homes recently opened in Yorkton, for children under 12.
They are for immediate placement when children can’t remain safely at home.
A news release from the provincial government says this option is for while parents are addressing safety concerns or a family-based care is being identified, whether that is extended family, a trusted family connection or foster care.
Social Services Minister, Gene Makowsky, says “Ensuring children entering care can remain in their home community, in their existing schools with their friends wherever possible provides much-needed stability, which is why we are working to provide local placement options across Saskatchewan.”
