Child-Caring Facilities, however, each facility is also unique
in their mandate, and the life skills programming available to
the clients in their care.
In general:
- HomeBridge Youth Society services youth, male and female, between
12 and 18 years of age.
- Facilities are community based and located in residential neighbourhoods.
- HomeBridge Youth Society’s priority is to service the
Halifax Regional Municipality, however, youth from across Nova
Scotia utilize our service when available.
- Youth must be in the care of a Child Welfare Agency to be admitted
to any HomeBridge Youth Society facility.
- Each facility follows and enforces a “No Smoking”
policy.
- Each facility offers structured and unstructured life skills
programming.

Facility mandates are followed closely, while striving to serve
the needs of the youth presented to the Central Region as needing
residential care.
