Supervision
Project Empower staff provide program supervision, conducting random check-ins at various hours throughout the 7-day week. Staff are trained to ensure the youth’s safety and identify potential issues that need a higher level of care.

Case Management
Each youth is assigned a Case Manager who helps the
youth in offering alternatives to consider, giving advice, information, guidance, and experience throughout his/her stay. Cooperation and acceptance of the responsibility to comply with these guidelines are key to a successful transition to independent living. Case Managers meet weekly with residents (more often if needed) to assess the progress of the youth in achieving objectives and goals.
