INTRODUCTION
Opened
in 2007, Alternative Living Solutions (ALS) is a social services agency focused
on providing transitional living and supervised independent living programs
designed for females and males between 16 and 20 years of age. ALS apartments are located in the Greensburg,
Pennsylvania area. ALS currently
contracts with a number of counties across the State of Pennsylvania.
MISSION
STATEMENT
ALS
is committed to developing innovative programming that challenges and enhances community
supports for the youth and families we serve.
PROGRAM
OBJECTIVES
The
program objectives, activities, and associated outcomes for ALS clients are in
large part tailored by the uniqueness of our clients. ALS serves an older adolescent population that
have been adjudicated delinquent or dependent, many of whom are unable to
return to their homes. Therefore ALS
clients are required to obtain the skill sets necessary to live independently
by the time the Court’s jurisdiction concludes. The primary objective of ALS is
to develop a positive community culture for each of its facilities. In doing so, ALS clients are required to
advance their competencies in the areas of pro-social skills and emotional and
behavioral stability in an ongoing effort to become productive members of
society. ALS is committed to aiding
their clients in advancing their skills and competencies in the five principal
domains of pro-social skills, moral reasoning, academic or vocational prophecies,
workforce development and independent living skills. The anticipated outcome
for ALS clients is to achieve the skills necessary to become an independent and
productive member of society.
