"A lot of the girls don't know where they are going," 17-year-old Brandy Vincent teen mom says of the situation at the home where she lived for nearly a year.

The scramble to pack up and get out of the Florence Crittenton Service mommy/baby program began just Thursday night.

"We got 1 days notice that the place was closing. We found out yesterday at 5 o'clock," Vincent says.

A dozen or so young mothers called the Jackson house a home. It was a place where these teens could live with their children--a way to keep out of foster care and keep these young families together.

Florence Crittendon released a statement explaining the decision to close. It says they were behind on their taxes.

"In the past week, the IRS significantly stepped up its seizures.
In consequence, FCS will not have the income to support care...and DHS made the decision to remove the youth."

The state's Department of Human Services backs that up. A spokesperson says 13 girls and 11 babies were moved to other facilities

"For how long we don't know, but we are going to be able to stay with their kids," Vincent says, relieved.

Brandy and her baby Henry--now nearly a year--are headed now for her mom's in Battle Creek. Some of the other girls did not have family to turn to, but all were placed in other homes by the state. Vincent says many worry that they could be split up from their children.

The girls now gone, FCS now has an uncertain future. It has 90 years in the business of kids in need. It is unclear what happens to their other programs, including a homeless shelter where other teen moms live.
