The groundbreaking ceremony on April 30, 2015 for the Alan M. Crogan
Youth Treatment and Education Center in Riverside, formerly known as Van
Horn Youth Center, marked the start of construction of the 106-bed secure
treatment and educational facility to house youthful offenders who are at
risk of re-offending or committing a more serious offense if not put on the
right track. The goal of the Probation Department’s new facility is to focus
on treatment, vocational
training, and education as
well as transitional living as
the youth re-enter into the
community. The project is
funded by a $24.7 million
grant from the SB81 Youthful
O f f ende r Con s t r uc t i on
Program and general funds.
Construction is anticipated to
be complete by May 2016.
