A new luxury emergency youth residential care facility located in Upper Darby, PA. Now officially open and accepting referrals, our mission is to transform youth care by providing an innovative, dignified, and comprehensive support system for homeless and at-risk youth ages 13–21.
At Cater 2 You Youth Haven, we believe that every young person deserves more than just shelter—they deserve opportunity, stability, and a true sense of belonging. Unlike traditional shelters, we offer a 5-star haven where youth are welcomed with warmth, care, and a nurturing environment that fosters personal growth. From the moment they arrive, each youth is greeted by our concierge service, ensuring they feel valued and supported.
Our facility is thoughtfully designed to restore dignity and inspire confidence. Residential suites feature canopy beds draped in black velvet curtains and illuminated by elegant chandeliers. Bathrooms offer spa-style luxury showers with gold finishes. In our fine-dining hall, youth enjoy meals with personalized place settings, gold flatware, and crystal drinking glasses—because we believe every child deserves to be treated with care and respect.
Beyond aesthetics, our focus is on holistic care and empowerment. Our vibrant lower-level common area includes:
· Academic and career workstations
· Video game stations
· Yoga and mindfulness studio
· A full-service hair and nail salon with pedicure chairs, nail stations, lash and facial beds, shampoo bowls, makeup stations, and more—all designed to enhance self-esteem and promote self-care.
Our services include:
· 24-hour emergency residential care
· On-site therapy and medical coordination
· Life skills development and job readiness
· Individualized care plans and transition support
· Trauma-informed programming and restorative practices
In addition to emergency care, Cater 2 You Youth Haven actively supports county agencies in identifying long-term placements for youth in our care. We host a monthly community event, “Open Hearts – Open Homes: Become a Foster Parent” to recruit and educate prospective foster families. We also partner with other residential care facilities to bridge placement gaps and ensure smoother transitions for youth.
Cater 2 You proudly collaborates with two sister programs:
· Fostering Success: Boys 2 Men, and
· From the Heart Youth Haven Residential Care Program
Both programs are designed to house youth through to aging out of the foster care system, providing stability and continuity of care. Additionally, Cater 2 You will be opening two more residential care facilities by year-end, expanding our capacity to provide longer-term placements and meet the growing needs of the youth we serve.
We invite county agencies and referral partners to schedule a private tour of our facility to learn more about how we can support your youth placement needs.
