BOYS & GIRLS HOME CHANGES

SIOUX CITY BOYS AND GIRLS HOME AND FAMILY SERVICES  HAS GONE THROUGH CHANGES, AND MORE CHANGES APPEAR TO BE ON THE HORIZON. 

RECENTLY, THE ORGANIZATION MOVED IT'S SOUTH SIOUX CITY OPERATION TO ITS SIOUX CITY LOCATION ON COURT STREET.   PRESIDENT AND CEO ART SILVA EXPLAINS THE REASONS FOR THE MOVE:

SILVA ADDS THAT DECLINING CLIENT NUMBERS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN APPROPRIATE STAFFING LEVELS BECAUSE OF THE COSTS INVOLVED.

THE COURT STREET FACILITY  HAS UNDERGONE RENOVATIONS RECENTLY AND THE SIOUX CITY SCHOOL BOARD IS INTERESTED IN THAT LOCATION FOR A REPLACEMENT FOR HUNT SCHOOL. SILVA SAYS THAT WON'T POSE A PROBLEM:

SILVA SAYS THE RELOCATION WOULD LIKELY BE DONE COLLABORATIVELY WITH ANOTHER COMMUNITY SERVICE GROUP, BUT NO LOCATIONS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AT THE PRESENT TIME.
