KIDS
COTTAGE
In April 1999, The Children's
Center of Hamden opened Connecticut's first "Safe Home"
for young children removed from their own homes because they
had witnessed, or been the victim of, domestic violence.
Initiated by the Department of Children and Families (DCF) in
response to a series of incidents in which children died, the
"Safe Home" provides shelter and care for 45 days
during which time DCF determines the most appropriate setting
for the child to be placed. Our "Safe Home"
is called Kids' Cottage and serves a maximum of 13 children
at any one time.
