Abstract

This article describes the values and program components of an intensive home-based family preservation service program called Homebuilders, which was designed to treat status-offending youths in danger of imminent out-of-home placement and their families. Data indicated that 87% of 687 youth referred to Homebuilders avoided placement for 12 months after service intake. These results are discussed with respect to program replication, other client populations, and future research directions.
