Each year we shelter and feed approximately 177 children. Our Center for Homeless Children and Their Families provides safe care, tutoring and assessment for children, while their parents work to attain housing, income and sobriety.

Our Kids First Family Shelter serves at-risk children and their parents and teaches positive parenting strategies to prevent future abuse or neglect.

At the core of our family programs is our Residential Parenting Education, including Kids First parenting skills training, counseling, and case management. Our emphasis is always on putting children's welfare first.

COTS strives to break the cycle of homelessness and transform the lives of children and adults through our innovative programs and services.
