Special
We are renowned for our Independent Living Program that teaches our residents the necessary skills needed to survive in today’s world. All residents are required to work full-time hours to save the necessary funds to first and fore most, pay their restitution and fines. After those obligations have been met, they save money for placement out on Independent Living in the Wausau area or back in their home town. It is not unusual for our clients to leave with over a $1,000 to start out on their own after taking care of their prior obligations.
