Sponsored Residential Home Service for Children and Adolescents

East Coast Family Services, LLC provides Sponsored Residential Home Services for children and adolescents ages 13–17, with continued support for individuals under 21 who were admitted as minors and have diagnosed developmental disabilities.

Our program offers a stable, nurturing family home where youth receive individualized care, skill‑building, and emotional support from trained Sponsored Residential Providers (“Sponsors”). Each home is certified, supervised, and supported by our professional treatment team.

We partner closely with Community Services Boards (CSBs), DSS, child‑placing agencies, and care coordinators to ensure safe, appropriate placements and strong outcomes.

Youth placed in our Sponsored Residential homes experience:

  • Opportunities to build independence and confidence

  • Community inclusion and social participation

Our Sponsors provide 24/7 supervision, emotional support, and daily skill‑building tailored to each youth’s developmental level.

Our treatment team provides weekly support meetings, daily communication, and ongoing coaching to ensure each youth’s needs are met.
