I have a link to another place which has residential treatment. This one may be a good one to get into-correct me if I'm wrong-if you're homeless because of a substance abuse problem.

Some children are also homeless-even if their parents aren't homeless because of abuse, neglect, abandonment, etc
This one provides residential care and support for foster care.

Residential Services for Mentally Ill May 12, 2006 12:05 PM
Friends,
I also happen to have a Care2 group for the mentally ill since homelessness among them is also a concern for me. I visited the site for Oakwood Center of the Palm Beaches to see if there are residential services there for the mentally ill; there are some for adults. I've known mentally ill people who have moved from homeless shelters to housing for mentally ill complete with case management services.

Thanks for letting me help by leading your group. I visited your links and you gave some good ones. They were also still active. I found some that were national-not just for the West Palm Beach area or the state of Florida. I plan on using them for my other HCA.
