About the group homes:
Kerr's group homes for youth are neighborhood homes that offer 24-hour care and life skills training for children ages 10-18 with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges. The goal is to provide these youth with the skills they need to live as independently as possible when they become adults.
While the youth in all the group homes have opportunities to interact at special events throghout the year, the most popular activity has become The Games, a semi-annual day of sports and activities.
