My Place is a program, not just a placement, with a goal to provide young adults ages 16-21 who are transitioning from foster care a stable place to learn advanced life skills and grow into the adults they were meant to be in their communities.
The program provides 15 fully furnished, one-bedroom apartments where young adults who are not yet ready to live completely on their own and are still receiving support services through their county reside.
The My Place property is a secured apartment building with staff present 24/7 to support residents. The outside perimeter of the building is monitored by surveillance cameras to provide a safe and secure environment for residents. The program is located on the east side of Columbus in a community that allows easy access to public transportation. Another unique component of My Place is that residents that are parents can be placed along with their children.
