Subject: RE: BS: need guidance on 'shelter'for kids
Kansas City is almost certainly a large enough area that there are already places similar to what you propose, although they may not be widely known. Your KC phonebook probably lists a variety of social services that may help you find one - (if KC is still one of the places where a phone book is still published).

Advice from an existing facility similar to what you want to do is likely to be a lot more useful than what you get from "people with a great idea" that nobody's tried out.

You may find that adding your assistance at an experienced facility will be far more effective than attempting to create something new, even if it means just offering a service in your facility as an extension of someone else's. You may confidently assume that anyone doing something of this kind is in need of more help than they receive easily from the community.
