Kiah Family Group Home, run by the government, opened in 1985. It was in Glenorchy. The Home provided temporary accommodation to children who were wards of state or supervised in other ways by the Department of Community Services and its successors. Kiah closed around 2000.
A married woman managed Kiah Family Group Home with the assistance of her husband, who was in paid employment outside the Home. In return, they did not pay rent.
The Home provided accommodation for new wards of the state or children on remand from the courts until the Department found a more permanent placement for them. It also took in children requiring temporary accommodation or in transit between homes. Some children stayed in the home longer if they got on well with the foster parent.
