ACES mission is to provide a safe and nurturing home for children in need. ACES strives to help our children discover their personal strengths and learn to cope with the crises in their lives. We strive to recognize the value and dignity of each individual who resides in our home. Our clients are children between the ages of 6 and 17 years old. Our purpose is to provide emergency shelter for children until permanent placement can be arranged.
