Park Place Outreach Youth Emergency Services has hired Kevin Foard, who had worked as a case manager for the Basic Center of Park Place Outreach, as its transitional living program (TLP) case manager.

“When this opportunity presented itself, there were no hesitations,” Foard said. “It was an honor to learn that Park Place Outreach would ignite the passion to help those individuals who would still need assistance after the age of 18.”

Foard is responsible for providing case management services that include initial screening, record keeping, service coordination, ongoing assessments of residents, aftercare activities and other duties as needed.

“The transitional living program provides opportunities for young males between the ages of 16-21 to learn how to become self-sufficient. It is my goal to connect these guys with as many resources as possible to address their needs,” Foard said.

Foard received a bachelor of education in 1999 from Cambridge College and a master’s in education in 2002 from Nova Southeastern University.
