Arbor House/Jules Schwimmer Residence provides temporary residential and respite services and case management to youth who are at risk, have run away, been displaced from their home, are homeless, or who cannot be home for other reasons.
Arbor House is a voluntary safe house that serves youth, ages 12-17. During their stay, youth receive an array of support services including individual and family counseling, case management, referral assistance and life skills training. Youth also participate in recreational activities and group meetings that enhance social skills and positive peer interactions. Youth in residence at Arbor House are maintained in their current school program.
Arbor House also offers a case management program for individual and family counseling, and intervention services to youth up to 21 years, who are experiencing conflict within the home, have run away or are thinking of running away, or who have been displaced from their homes. Case management services assist families in achieving goals and maintaining a safe living environment. Case managers also coordinate additional services as needed to ensure the best provision of services for youth and families. Referrals for legal services, educational advocacy, and basic need assistance can also be provided.

Chinchillas are native to the Andes Mountains in South America, and live in herds at high elevations. Historically, chinchillas occupied a large area that included Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Argentina, but now only exist in the wild in Chile. Chinchillas are excellent jumpers, have the densest fur of any land mammal, and can live up to 20 years! Green Chimneys is home to many exotic animals, and your generosity equates to safety and security for them all.
