Shelter ~ (SC) The Committee would like to thank the Massachusetts residential service providers listed herein for their interest and cooperation in this project. Shelter care facilities are designed to provide temporary shelter (less than two months) for youths in crisis. Some programs have a diagnostic capability. Several of the shelters used exclu­ sively for delinquents offer some degree of security. 5. Secure Programs (SP) ";. Each program in this category relies on locks, bars, security screens, staffing pattern, enclosures or any combination thereof for security measures. Youths do not have access to the community. There are three types of programs in this category. Secure detention programs are used for the temporary detainment of accused or adjudicated juvenile offenders. The Bureau of Clinical Services of the Department of Youth Services coordinates secure treatment pro¥ams. These programs are locked, closed treatment facilities withull on-grounds programming. Secure IVlental Health Group Care Programs, are operated by the Department of Mental Health.
