Shelter Program

Give Us This Day provides placement for foster children disrupting out of their foster care or residential placement. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, for crisis placement in residential or foster homes. At Give Us This Day, shelter placement, medical, physical, mental health and educational needs are met and maintained.

GUTD has developed a GUTD Continuum of Care; we have a plethora of placement options that fits each child’s supervision needs individually. We work with the State’s most difficult youth: sexually reactive, aggressive and developmentally delayed. Our goal is to maintain placement until a long-term placement is secure.

This is what our DHS workers say after working with GUTD’s Shelter Program

Hi there…I just wanted to recognize what a great job you and your team have done with XXX…You accepted XXX during a crisis time for him (and me), and I just wanted to say, "THANK YOU". You were able to get him to his counseling, medication, and doctor appointments (on short notice)…It is much appreciated…Thanks again…

Thank you, also, for assisting us with XXX and working so diligently to maintain her in the community. It was a pleasure working with you.

Hi GUTD,

Thank you for everything you guys did for XXX. He really enjoyed his foster mom and they plan to stay in touch.

Help…my kiddo does not want to move from GUTD! She loved it at the Rodney House-strict with a bit of freedom.
