The Larimer County Department of Human Services is writing in support of the development of a
Residential Treatment Center in Fort Collins by Jacob Family Services. We have worked closely for
many years with Jacob Family Services placing children in their foster homes and using them for
Intensive Outpatient Program drug and alcohol treatment for our adolescent clients. We feel sure
that they would operate a quality residential treatment center. We continue to have to place many
youth outside of Larimer County because of the lack of adequate treatment beds in our county.
Within several months the residential treatment center that our Department operates, Youth Safe,
will be closing because of financial reasons. We will need more than ever to have a local resource
for youth who need a structured therapeutic placement facility.
Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or need more information on this subject.
Sincerely,
J e Looney, Manager
Resource Development and Utilization Unit
