Other Licensed Facilities Where Children Are Located

In some states, group homes, camps, and other facilities are also licensed and inspected by state or local entities as places where children may spend a significant amount of time. Although this document was written for a different audience, the principles of safe siting could apply to these other facilities as well. In states where group homes are licensed by the same agency that licenses ECE programs, consideration may be given to including these facilities in any new policy or program changes to help ensure these facilities are in safe locations.
