transitional housing/group home

VMO GROUP HOME is a 24-hour, residential program for youth ages 11-17. We specialize in working with young men who are in crisis and require one-on-one services in additition to typical group care services. Our areas of expertise are well-suited to work with clients who are considered low-functioning or who have several behavioral  challenges and or learning disabilities [fetal alcohol syndrome, mental retardation, attention deficit disorder (ADD), attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), and opposition defiant disorder (ODD), etc.]. It is important to note that VMO Group Home also works with clients who do not fall in any of the previously mentioned categories.
