About Communities For People

Since 1975, Communities for People (CFP) has been a trusted leader in providing community-based residential programs for troubled youth. Our mission is to help young people and families achieve permanency, build life-long connections within their communities, and learn the skills needed for independent living. CFP offers a wide selection of services and programs in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Our dedicated staff are committed to offering youth and families the support and assistance they need to successfully live and thrive in their communities.

Programs

The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.

INTENSIVE FOSTER CARE (IFC)

The program can alternatively provide support to prospective kinship or adoptive parents. Our unbundled services provide highly individualized placement supports to a youth at risk of disruption, returning home, or navigating a transition. Our unbundled services program is designed to be flexible and responsive to every family’s individual needs. Services from the program can last from 6 weeks to 6 months as necessary and are always driven by the family’s goals and objectives. CFP believes that children do best in family settings and should remain in their own communities whenever possible.

TEEN COMMUNITY LIVING

CFP’s spectrum of community living programs includes the Residential GH1:4 Programs, Independent Living (IL) and Learning Independence by Fostering Empowerment (LIFE). CFP provides youth living within these programs supportive and rehabilitative services which promote individual empowerment.

STARR PROGRAM

Our Boston Regional STARR Program (Stabilization, Assessment, and Rapid Reintegration) is a 45 day residential program helping to stabilize youth, quickly assess their needs, and facilitate reunification with family or an alternate appropriate service, when necessary. We engage family members and community supports to ensure comprehensive plans for each youth. The program consists of 2 sites for youth ages 12-17, one serves up to 6 females and the other serves up to 9 males. We provide guidance to the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to facilitate permanency and clinical recommendations to ensure appropriate placement.
