Cumberland’s Programs

At Cumberland Youth and Family Services, we work hard to provide care and support that improves the quality of life for youth in foster care, young adults aging out of care and resilient single-parent families. Each program is designed to address residents’ specific needs based on the circumstances that brought them to us, the level of care and support that serves them best, their goals and progress. One of the great things about Cumberland is that residents may transition between programs without moving. That ability to shift placement options based on needs or progress is an important stabilizing force not often found in programs like ours. Cumberland’s Shelter Services and Treatment Services programs are often referred to as our Children’s Residential Program. Cumberland is licensed to serve children and youth ages 5-18, but focus primarily on meeting the needs of middle and high school age students. All residents are placed with us by the Texas Department of Family Protective Services or OCOK. Our Supervised Independent Living Program offers an extended foster care option to help young adults, ages 18-22. The program is designed to ease the transition into adulthood for those aging out of care. Our Family Residential Program supports resilient working families who need support to move toward greater self-sufficiency.
