Abstract
Mapping a System of Children's Group Homes in San Bernardino County, California
Track: Health and Human Services
Author(s): Jim Banta, Kelly Cross-McAuley, Evelyn Trevino
For various reasons, county agencies place children and adolescents in group homes. Costs and capacity are issues, with costs for the most behaviorally difficult youth surpassing $4,000 per month per child. More than 90 group homes exist in San Bernardino, receiving referrals from the County's Probation, Children's Services and Behavioral Health Departments and agencies from other counties. ArcView GIS is used to depict this residential care system, including the volume and description of clients. Social indicators are also examined, comparing geographical areas where group homes are located to the rest of the county.
