Youth either live in a cluster site living arrangement (where up to 6 youth can live in the same building and are supervised 24/7) or is a scattered-site living arrangement (where a youth is placed in their own living arrangement, such as an apartment, and have access to contractor staff 24/7). The living arrangement must provide the youth with an environment in which the youth can experience living in the community with less supervision than other types of foster care placements.
