Crossroads Programs Inc

Crossroads Programs, Inc. has been a provider of residential, shelter, transitional, and supportive services for homeless, abandoned, abused and at-risk youth and families for over 40 years. The Agency was founded in 1978 through a collaboration of interfaith community leaders committed to providing shelter to abandoned, abused, runaway and homeless youth. In recognition of the need, and the absence of available services for runaways, this group formed a volunteer organization with a Board of Directors and incorporated Crossroads as a private, non-profit agency and opened Burlington County's first and only youth shelter. The Agency maintains its original mission and focus - empowering at-risk youth to develop into healthy young adults - as our core competency.Crossroads' Continuum of CareCrossroads' expertise and continuum of care for abandoned, abused, homeless and other at-risk youth - community based treatment homes, group homes, shelter care, life skills training, and mentoring have resulted in improved outcomes and an enhanced future for the thousands of kids and families we have served over the years.Crossroads' Residential and Community-Based Services include:Rites of Passage (ROP)Capable Adolescent Mothers (CAM)Dalton House (DH)Mount Holly House (MHH)Kerri's House (KH)Maxine's HouseHope Homes (HH)For youth aging-out of the child welfare system:Rites of Passage Transitional Housing Program (ROP)Sixteen (16) homeless youth, ages 18-21, received independent living services including supportive housing, intensive life skills training, job coaching, and cash management services.
