The shelter provides 24-hour supervision, room and board for clients from ages 12 to 17. The main goal of the shelter is to provide case management services and permanent placement in an appropriate facility or home for youth that are misplaced due to situations ranging from family crisis to homelessness. While at the shelter, the youth are expected to continue to attend school or the equivalent through our Chapter One and Project Link programs. Comprehensive networking with various agencies assures that the youth will be successfully placed and will have the greatest chance of achieving their goals.

In addition to shelter services, a transitional living program is available to person 16-21 years of age. Persons 16-17 will start the program at the shelter then move into apartments. Persons 18-21 will start the program in apartments. During the program, clients through instruction by program staff will develop independent living skills. Upon completion of the program, the clients will have the knowledge and skills to live on their own.
