South Carolina Association of Community Residential Programs (SCACRP) was founded in 1975 with the goal of developing high quality community residential programs.
SCACRP was established with the goal of developing quality community residential programs in the state of South Carolina. The Association encompasses the four regions of the state, and officers were elected from these regions. The Association’s members and officers come from both private and public sectors and represent a spectrum of social services.
