Modern Era
The original St. Cabrini orphanage currently serves as a residential treatment center for girls (having reverted to a single-sex facility in 2004). The agency additionally runs a residential program for girls in Ulster County, group homes for boys and girls in Dutchess and Orange Counties, and an outpatient substance abuse clinic that is licensed by the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services.
Financing state or federally mandated services with limited and shrinking budgets remains challenging. Because St. Cabrini Home focuses on residential care, the organization was particularly vulnerable to 2005 changes in New York State foster care policies. In 2010, due to mounting public pressure, St. Cabrini Home replaced its administrative team and modified the types of youth it serves to ensure that the agency can provide sufficient and appropriate care to its clients.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or era:
“Our modern wars make many unhappy while they last and make no one happy when they are finished.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“...I had grown up in a world that was dominated by immature age. Not by vigorous immaturity, but by immaturity that was old and tired and prudent, that loved ritual and rubric, and was utterly wanting in curiosity about the new and the strange. Its era has passed away, and the world it made has crumbled around us. Its finest creation, a code of manners, has been ridiculed and discarded.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
