What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Residential Care
Crossnore Communities for Children admits residential children in two ways. The first is through the Department of Social Services and the Department of Juvenile Justice Systems. If you are a government agency and are interested in placing a child with Crossnore Communities for Children, please complete the appropriate application below.
The second type of admission is for Private Placements. Private Placements are children that are currently living with a parent and/or legal custodian and are in need of possible out of home placement. If you are interested in placing a child with us and have utilized other resources, such as your local Department of Social Service agency, intensive in-home services or counseling, but are in need of further assistance, please fill out the appropriate application below. Once this application is received, the intake specialist will contact the legal custodian about a possible interview.
Children who come to live at Crossnore Communities for Children live in one of 21 campus cottages, with live-in cottage parents. Cottage parents serve in a 7 day on/7 day off rotation. This relationship model allows our children learn to build healthy relationships, while receiving the support they need to make progress towards reaching their own goals.
For students who live with us into high school, we offer the Stepping Stones program. This program recognizes and rewards students who have made enough progress toward independence to live with minimal supervision.
Therapy Services
Therapy Services are offered to children following a complete assessment to determine their level of need. This assessment then drives the services that will best meet those needs. Therapy services are offered to children in our foster care programs, as well as to children as outpatients or in school-based therapy. Therapists are available in all three of our locations: Crossnore, NC, Winston-Salem, NC, and Hendersonville, NC
Foster Care and Adoptions
Crossnore Communities for Children's Foster Care and Adoptions program licenses and supervises single family foster homes and therapeutic foster homes. We also partner with the counties we serve to effectively and efficiently recruit for and match children who desire to be adopted with qualified loving families.
Families interested in providing a foster home or forever home for children in need will receive training, a home study, and ongoing monthly support throughout the licensing process and beyond.
Education
Crossnore Communities for Children puts a high emphasis on education to offer children choices for their future. Education helps our children break generational cycles of abuse and neglect, as well as provide more than $1 million in additional income over their lifetimes.
In Winston-Salem, NC, our students attend the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County public schools. For those who are eligible, our Day Treatment program provides:
Year-round programming (7:25 a.m.–1:55 p.m. five days a week)
Treatment groups
Psycho-Educational groups
Experiential and Adventure-Based counseling
Individual counseling
Family counseling
Individualized goals/interventions
The program utilizes a structured environment concentrating on strengths, skill building, and problem solving through individual therapy and in groups. Day Treatment also provides interventions that address the reduction of mental health symptoms, improvement of behavioral functioning, increased coping and relational skills, recovery, and ability to function in an educational and community setting.
For students living on the Crossnore, NC campus, educational services are provided at Marjorie Williams Academy, a K-12 public charter school located on our campus.
The mission of Williams Academy is to offer a stable, emotionally supportive, educational environment for children with a goal of empowering each child to achieve his or her real academic and social potential.
Youth Independent Living
Youth Independent Living (YIL) supports youth and young adults who are currently in or have aged out of the foster care system by offering age-appropriate, normative assistance to build skills and connections in order to increase positive life outcomes and create resiliency.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Oct 01 - Sep 30
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
