Project Title: Emergency Shelter Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Grandma\u2019s Place\u2019s (GP) Emergency Shelter Program offers emergency residential shelter for children who\u2019ve been removed from their homes for their safety by the Department of Children & Families (DCF). These children are victims of abuse, mistreatment, & neglect, & many have varying severities of intellectual & developmental disabilities.<\/p>\n
The shelter is open 24\/7\/365 to intake children from birth-12 years who have been removed from their own home by DCF. GP is unique to PBC in that it accepts all children with disabilities & is the ONLY shelter certified to care for both genders 0\u2013 7.<\/p>\n
The first objective is to welcome the incoming child, assure them that they\u2019re safe, & try to make the environment as comfortable as possible. Staff greet & reassure each child, who are often confused or upset. Children then receive a physical evaluation within 72 hours of their arrival by a local pediatrician & are given treatment if needed. The children are also provided with appropriate dental care & immunizations needed to attend school. <\/p>\n
Individual case plans are designed & administered that address each child\u2019s unique needs. Children enrolled in school continue their education at their existing institute whenever possible, & our staff coordinates with school administration to ensure there is no disruption in schooling. Children with disabilities are taken to appropriate schools for their learning needs.<\/p>\n
Quarterly meal plans are developed by a registered dietitian & ensure the children receive proper nutrition. Clothing & pajamas in all sizes are available for the children, as are diapers, wipes, & other supplies should they need it. The program\u2019s objective is to make these children feel safe & to work with the DCF to find a suitable foster\/adoptive family if replacement with non-offending family isn\u2019t possible. In 2025, the shelter served 35 children.<\/p>\n
