Admissions Information

Alternative Living Solutions accepts private referrals in programs to develop the ability for young men and women to live independently.

Alternative Living Solutions is now accepting referrals for young men and women ages 15 1/2 - 21 through CYS and JPO.  Privately funded placements are also invited.

Many of our youth have little to no support or permanency planning. Should a young man or woman be able to live independently once discharged from the program, Alternative Living Solutions will assist in locating appropriate housing, employment, and financial preparation to acclimate the young adult to his/her new environment. For the younger person in need of permanency planning, Alternative Living Solutions / Broad Street Apartments will assist in adoption/foster care services.
