Girls Group Home

  • A residential group home for eight teenage girls, ages 16 to 18 years old.
  • The girls group home was founded in 1969 as a community-based program to help teenage girls with the next step toward healthy independence.
  • In 2007, the program relocated to our main campus in Urbana to provide closer proximity to Residential Treatment Center resources while maintaining the stand-alone, independent character of the original Girls Group Home.
  • Extensive renovations improved the safety features of the original building, Sarah English Cottage, which was built in 1957.
  • Named in honor of Mrs. Sarah English, Superintendent of Cunningham from 1949-1960, this was the second of three cottages built to provide a home for children and their "house parents."
