    Our Youth Emergency Shelter is the only emergency night shelter in the county for children and teens experiencing homelessness. We provide shelter and support services for those ages 12 to 17 who don't have a safe place to live or who are victims of physical or sexual abuse, neglect or exploitation. When these kids walk through our doors, they have immediate access to a bed, shower and laundry services, family-style meals, case management, independent living skills training, health education, computers for schoolwork, expressive arts therapy and more. We make sure they receive the wraparound support to help them find stability in their lives. Learn more about our housing support services: https://lnkd.in/gQ3YHBdq #endyouthhomelessness

    Our Youth Homelessness Program provides housing to youth experiencing homelessness, along with supportive services to help them become independent and self-sufficient. We ensure they are able to thrive, once they leave our programs to live on their own. Once they have been given shelter, our team helps them access the resources they need to build skills necessary to be successful in life. Youth are connected to education, employment, and entrepreneurial support, in addition to mental health services. By offering care that addresses their needs, we're helping end the cycle of youth homelessness.
