Avenue House
.
The Avenue House is a six-bed male group home located in the historic city of Lockport, NY, operated by New Directions Youth and Family Services. The Avenue House, in operation since 1969, has a rich tradition of helping young men prepare for their future after placement. While at Avenue House, residents will begin to gain the many tools needed for future success.
Among the services provided while living at Avenue House is individual and family therapy with a social worker. We provide access to community-based drug and alcohol counseling. There is also full service medical and dental care. We assist in job placement through Lockport School District’s job coordinator.
Independent living skills are an important focus of our program because some youth may not be returning home after discharge. After completion of our program they will be ready to handle the challenge of living independently.
All referrals to the Avenue House program must be working on their educational or employment goals. They also must be prepared to live in an all group setting, and be an active participant in the community.
