Help Uth Turn to Regain Funding!

The Issue

On March 31, project Uth Turn was terminated. The Governor and New York State Office of Children and Family Services spend $210,000 per young person annually to house a juvenile in a residential facility, but it cut Uth Turn, which costs less than $1,000 per young person annually. Since 1999, Uth Turn has served more than 5,000 at risk youth in all five boroughs in New York. Uth Turn has a recidivism rate of less than 7% for our court mandated young people or a 94% success rate. Members of the staff currently are volunteering to help regain funding so that the program can continue helping New York City youth.
