Where must caregivers reside to supervise children in a transitional living program?

• A. They must reside within close physical proximity to the child's living quarters, be physically available at all times, be capable of responding quickly in an emergency, and be capable of monitoring the comings and goings
• B. They must live within the same city
• C. They must live on site in the same building
• D. They must reside within two miles of the program

Answer: (A)

The key idea is continuous supervision and immediate availability for children in a transitional living program. Caregivers must be within close physical proximity so they can be physically present with the youths, ready at all times, and able to respond quickly in emergencies while monitoring who comes and goes. This guarantees safety, quick intervention, and ongoing oversight rather than relying on distance or sporadic presence.

Being in the same city or within two miles does not ensure real-time availability or rapid emergency response. Living on site is more restrictive than necessary and not required if the requirement of close proximity and constant availability is met.
