Growing Home Southeast (formerly Human Services Associates) was founded in 1979 as a social service agency in St. Paul, Minnesota. In 1987, the agency opened an office in Bamburg, South Carolina with the executive director serving as the only staff person. Within a few months of operation in South Carolina, the first child was placed in one of our foster homes and we have consistently grown since. By 1994, the need for serving a special population of foster youth was identified and the agency began providing a Medically Fragile program. In March, 2005, Growing Home Southeast acquired the programs of Family Resources, Inc. of Beaufort, SC, increased its staff size to nearly fifty employees statewide, managed services for more than 200 clients and entered the home-based services market.
