Program Brief

The Department of Public Welfare Office of Children, Youth, and Families license Alternative Living Solutions-Broad Street Apartments (ALS-BSA) and Alternative Living Solutions-Georges Station Apartments (ALS-GSA) under the 3800 regulations as Transitional Living. The GYI and GSA programs are located in Greensburg, PA, Westmoreland County, and fall into the Western Region of DPW. ALS is a non-profit, 501(c) 3 organization intended to focus on and address needs of the at-risk youth population. Admissions to the program include: dependent, delinquent, or privately referred youth placements for males and females ages 15^1/2 to 21. GYI accepts youth who are pregnant and will carry their baby to birth. Clients may be from Pennsylvania and/or other states.

ALS-BSA’s and ALS-GSA's approach to youth services is to provide a family oriented and mission driven program. Through creating a positive therapeutic community culture, the purpose of the program is to advance youth competencies in an effort to enhance pro-social skills, emotional and behavioral stability, and the youth’s opportunity for becoming responsible and productive members of society. ALS-BSA and ALS-GSA is committed to a competency development approach of enhancing a youth’s skill sets in the five principle domains:

Pro-Social Skills
Moral Reasoning Skills
Academic Skills
Workforce Development Skills
Independent Living Skills

ALS-BSA and ALS-GSA philosophy includes the belief that youth have the right to self-determination, interaction with others as part of respect and dignity, the right to participate in their Individualized Treatment Planning processes, and the right to participate in BARJ programming, when appropriate.
