Each one shelters a maximum of 45 children separated between the ages of 6 and 14 to 18 years old. Decisions on where to place them depends on two grounds: when the child attended to at SEC expresses a desire to leave the street, or when the child is sent on by the following: Trusteeship Council, the Minors´ o Court, by the Municipal Secretariat for Social Development and / or the Foundation for the Infancy and Adolescence. On showing up the child is enrolled in formal schooling and starts living in a family atmosphere that gives most importance to friendship, respect and trust, and he participates in a number of socio – educational, pedagogic and recreational activities. And when his background permits, the team does a special job of reapproximation between the child and his family, in an effort to fulfil the most important objective of the Home, which is to get the child back into his family. São Martinho professionals feel that it is imperative to find professional alternatives compatible with the child's aptitudes and preferences, for him to be able to effectively take his place in society and assume responsibility for his independence, considering that —he leaves the institution on reaching 18 years of age.
