Community-based care serves as a "bridge" between orphanage and settlement house. Adolescents are placed in a family in their community. The guardians will provide individual care and nurture in the context of a family and community. This teaches adolescents more independence.
Community-based care programs may be described as having a strong ‘prevention’ component, in that they seek to strengthen community coping capacities in order to avoid the adolescent becoming dependent on adults.
