Who We Are
Founded by Jordan Midgette in 2023, a youth advocate with lived experience in foster care and years of front-line nonprofit work —
St Claire Family Homes is rooted in the real-life gaps experienced
The 3-Phase Model
At the heart of our long-term vision is a unique, scalable model of care built around three tightly connected phases of youth support:
1. R.E.A.L. Outreach (Resilience. Empowerment. Action. Leadership.)
Our frontline engagement program identifies underserved youth in the community and provides them with direct support — from basic needs like food and clothing to case management, behavioral health referrals, and family-based stabilization services. Outreach staff are supported by Agency Affiliated Counselors (AACs), allowing us to serve youth with legitimate behavioral needs in a structured, compliant way.
2. C.A.R.E. (Child Advocacy, Referral & Engagement) – Our CPA Division
This is our licensed Child Placing Agency (CPA) — the administrative and legal backbone of our model. Once a child is identified as needing placement, our C.A.R.E division coordinates with state agencies, evaluates eligibility, and facilitates referral and placement into one of our therapeutic homes.
3. Qualified Residential Treatment Programs (QRTPs)
Our long-term vision includes launching high-quality QRTPs to provide therapeutic, structured, and trauma-informed residential care. Youth placed through our CPA system will receive continued care from our internal behavioral health professionals — creating a closed-loop system of support.
