SCYS goal is to accommodate youth in the least restrictive manner as best fosters self sufficiency. SCYS reserve the right to request a resident to leave the home if a safety concern has been identified and is unresolved. All proper considerations and notice will be given. It is our intent that problems can and will be resolved though communication, education and modeled positive behavior within SCYS or with communication and support from family.
