Spectrum’s Murray Street Residence in Burlington, is a community-based housing program for 6 male youth who are between 16 and 18 years old and who are in the custody of Vermont's Department of Children and Families (DCF). 

Typically, these youth are transitioning out of foster care, juvenile detention, residential programs like drug and alcohol treatment centers, and other restricted educational settings for youth with behavioral problems.  Spectrum staff works collaboratively with the youth's DCF Case Managers, family members/guardians and other providers to coordinate the plans of care and transitional living goals.

Youth who are successful in this program have the opportunity to move to the Maple Street Residence for long-term continuation of housing and services.  In the event that the Maple Street Residence is not appropriate, other long-term housing options are developed collaboratively with the youth.
