Solomon Center Construction - June 28, 2001

The Solomon Center was constructed as a facility for the care of children needing immediate placement because there are times when it is necessary for a child to be removed from his/her home at a moment's notice, often in the middle of the night.  When that occurs, finding immediate emergency care and shelter for the child is a priority.  The Solomon Emergency Care Center on the Boys and Girls Homes campus was designed to meet those needs.  The center could care for up to 20 children for a period not to exceed 90 days.  During that time, care and diagnoses of needs are made and decisions regarding further treatment and placement are implemented.  As emergency placement has been curtailed, the center is used for alternative housing for children as needs arise.
