Rancho San Antonio Boys Home

Rancho has two Short Term Residential Therapeutic Programs (STRTP) that are trauma informed and serve court referred male youth 13-18 years of age as well as non-dependent minors. The programs are designed to be intensive and to assist youth in addressing life patterns that resulted in placement outside of their homes.

Rancho offers Transitional Aged Youth (TAY) 18-23 year old males that are facing housing insecurity an opportunity to build a solid base for the future. Participants are encouraged to establish financial security and pursuit of educational goals. There is a mock rent system in place to teach responsibility of paying bills on time and acts as a savings account. They receive all their money back upon moving out on their own.

Rancho is a caring community that encourages emotional healing and utilizes the Attachment, Regulation and Competency (ARC) trauma-informed model of care. Treatment promotes self-regulation, developing improved family connections and relationships, recovery/substance use treatment as indicated, and learning life skills that grow potential for successful living.

- Rancho's Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) program, also known as "Hope's House" (or in Spanish, "Casa De Esperanza"), is licensed and funded for a total bed capacity of 32 male unaccompanied children (UC), ages 13-17, who enter the United States without immigration status and without a parent or legal guardian who can provide for their immediate physical and mental well-being.- The Creative Healing Arts Program is part of Rancho's diverse trauma informed experiential programming. The motto of Creative Healing Arts is "Heal and Be Heard." Projects are developed through collaboration between staff and youth and are designed to develop youth's abilities to join the workforce and promote access and opportunity to various parts of the studio art industry. The studio is used to address trauma, promote skill development, project completion, and creative expression.- Rancho has a contract with the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health Substance Abuse Prevention and Control (SAPC) as an Outpatient/Intensive Outpatient SUD Treatment Program offering prevention and early intervention as well as recovery services for youth ages 12-20.- Rancho's Youth Diversion Program engages and supports youth who are at risk of offending or entering the formal youth justice system. The program offers community based, culturally sensitive, person-centered, evidence-based case management services, which are delivered primarily by a Youth Diversion Case Manager.
