Path to Permanency

Through this program, we provide family visits and services in a local Bair office that has been set up to resemble a natural home environment. This program offers family-focused, strength-based interventions so children can remain safely in their home. The Bair Foundation is committed to delivering services that can stabilize, support and strengthen each member of the family through skill development and building healthy relationships.

We maintain several Path to Permanency Homes (located in Altoona, PA, Johnstown, PA, Lynchburg, VA and Virginia Beach, VA) that offer family empowerment and preservation services. The Kindred Roots program is available in Kentucky and provides support services with a special focus on children in kinship or fictive kin care alongside their birth parents and kinship caregivers.
