HISTORY CARIDAD I was opened on November 1, 1998 as a result of a
need for a placement for a developmentally disabled adolescent whose parents
had passed away and had been staying at a shelter for months before his
attorney obtained a court order to place him at a less restrictive home
environment. DISID contracted out the
service to CSS since then. STATISTICS Total client served: 4 Phone No.: 637-7004
