RI DCYF Female Youth Residential Facility
DBVW was hired by the State of Rhode Island to design a facility that will provide temporary housing for 16 female youth, ages 13-18. The facility will contain single bedrooms for each client as well as a kitchen, dining area, classrooms, recreation facilities, administration areas, clinical area, and gathering spaces for the residents and their family. The new youth residential facility will serve an important role in keeping the adolescents closer to their communities, reducing the hardship on families for visitation, treatment, and reunification.
