Shelter Care is a residential treatment program for children between the ages of 6 and 18 who manifest emotional, behavioral, or family adjustment type problems. Located in northeastern Ohio, Shelter Care provides a continuum of residential care, from short-term crisis intervention, to intermediate or respite care, as well as long term care in route to independent living.
The short-term care is provided through the Safe Landing Youth Shelters. This program utilizes a professional staff model with qualified persons serving in different capacities on a 24-hour basis. The intermediate and long-term care is provided through a network of respite and shelter homes, housing between 2 to 4 children within a family setting.

Shelter Care is a private, non-profit agency governed by a 12 member board of directors and licensed by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services as a child caring agency. Funding for the program comes through per diem rates from referring agencies and contributions from service groups, businesses, local churches, and individuals.
