Bush center reshapes home for teenage boys aging into permanence
Nine boys at the Southern Illinois Children’s Service Center in Bush live in a restructured home that shifts from an orphanage model to a long term residence for teens aged 12 to 16. Administrator Jim DeLeonardis says the change, backed by a welfare league survey, aims to provide stable, intensive guidance with individual rooms and shared chores while keeping children connected to families and community activities.
