Boys Town Restores Family Style Care For Orphans
Boys Town Nebraska plans 16 cottages on its main campus to house 10 boys each with live in parents and convert existing facilities to similar units. The campus could serve up to 500 boys as the program expands to satellite cities nationwide. An audit shows 1975 assets at 242.1 million, nearly 608 thousand per current 398 boys, with enrollment previously near 695 as core referrals shift toward family residences. Brown cites fewer suitable referrals and a need to avoid housing hard core delinquents in institutional settings.
