Children's System of Care (CSOC) Types of Out of Home Placement
Individuals may be placed in out-of-home residential settings, such as group homes, before the age of 21 in certain circumstances, typically when they require significant behavioral and/or medical supports that cannot be safely managed at home. There are several types of residential placements, each determined by the individual’s level of need and the intensity of services required.

How Taxpayers are Funding Systemic Abuse in Youth Residential Treatment Facilities
A Senate Committee on Finance Staff Report
"Children, entrusted to the care of behavioral health providers, are routinely subjected to the risk of abuse. In the best of circumstances, children at residential treatment facilities receive care from under-trained and overburdened staff, are given infrequent therapy, sometimes by non-professionals, and are exposed to unsanitary, unsafe, and non-homelike environments. In the worst of circumstances, children at residential treatment facilities suffer the above as well as sexual, physical, verbal, or emotional abuse at the hands of staff. Mistreatment is endemic to the conditions at residential treatment facilities."
