Hillside Family of Agencies, a family and children services organization that provides child welfare, mental health, youth development, juvenile justice, special education, and developmental disabilities services across central and western New York, is extending its services to include youth beyond 22 years of age. The agency has recognized there is a gap of services and the adult (human services) system is not successfully set up to serve many youth from age 22 to 26. Also, youth have a difficult time transitioning from the youth system into adulthood. The change will be gradual and will primarily take place in community-based services.
