Youth Shelter

SAFE Haven Youth Shelter

A runaway teen makes an easy target for fraud, robbery, or exploitation. Many become involved with drugs, pornography, survival sex, or teen prostitution.

In a small number of cases, some have been abducted or murdered. Those who do manage to survive on the streets are at risk for sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, alcohol or other drug abuse and suicide.

The Youth Shelter program provides food, clothing, shelter, and case management services to runaway, homeless and abused youth age ten through seventeen.

Program Goals

	Provide crisis intervention services for runaway, homeless, abused and other troubled youth and families in need, 24 hours a day.
	Reunite youth with their families, when appropriate, and encourage the resolution of intrafamily problems through counseling and other services.
	Strengthen family relationships and encourage stable living condition for youth.
	Help youth decide upon constructive courses of action.

Youth staying at the shelter receive:

	Food
	Shelter
	Clothing
	Case Management
	Information & Referral
	Aftercare

Youth are required to follow all shelter rules such as:

	Must attend school and complete homework assignments.
	Abstain from tobacco, alcohol and drug use.
	Weapons, violence or gang paraphernalia prohibited.

Youth who comply with rules may be able
to stay for up to two weeks.
