The Homeless Youth Resource Center delivers a continuum of services to homeless street youth through three components: a Street Outreach Program, a daytime Drop-In Center and Transition Home. We served 855 individuals last year across the three programs -- that's a 110% increase in two years.
Street Outreach Program
Drop-In Center
At the Drop-In Center, homeless street youth can receive basic need items. Young women and men can take care of many of life’s daily activities like doing laundry and taking showers. Meals are served twice daily. Youth can attend classes, receive referrals for human services and participate in ongoing case management. The Center seeks to provide a safe trusting environment for homeless youth and help them begin the process of moving out of homelessness and onto the path of self-sufficiency. To assist youth with transitioning to independence even more the Drop-In Center is now offering housing case management services.
Transition Home
The Transition Home is an 18-month, all female program designed to provide support, guidance and structure to homeless youth. Through case management, goal setting and skill building groups and classes, this residential program seeks to help young women ages 16-19 transition from instability and homelessness to reunification with family and/or self-sufficiency.
