In April of 1999, The Children’s Center of Hamden opened Connecticut’s first
“Safe Home”. Safe Home programs are designed to provide assessment services for
young children who have been removed from their homes for a variety of reasons,
generally related to the child’s safety.
Kids Cottage serves no more than 13 children at a time and can accommodate
groups of siblings so they are not separated from each other during what might
be considered a tumultuous time. The program provides a psychosocial assessment
of each child to aid in planning for placement should home not be an option.
Lengths of stay range from a couple of days up to 45 days.
