The RRCY is a facility designed to provide intensive treatment in a residential setting for the rehabilitation of CICL whose sentences have been suspended. It serves as a nurturing out-of-home placement for children in need of rehabilitation.

While the RRCY provides institutional rehabilitation for CICL, community based rehabilitation programs are also being provided by the DSWD. Whenever necessary, the RRCY links its center-based service to community based programs or the programs provided in a community setting developed for the purpose of intervention and diversion (from formal court proceedings) as well as rehabilitation of the CICL, for final reintegration into his family and community.

The support and participation of the immediate family and community is valuable, hence RRCY harnesses the community support structures outside of the family. Community structures are tapped and mobilized to contribute their resources to the treatment and reintegration of offenders and strengthening their families.
