The Permanency Center, constructed and furnished with grants from the Humana Foundation and The Home Depot Foundation totaling $120,000, will create an inviting and home-like environment, where parents and children can seek and receive the support, services, treatment and coping skills they need to strengthen and care for their children long-term.
