Youth Haven
Youth Haven serves as short term emergency
placement for homeless youth and for state involved
youth through the Children's Administration. Our agency owned Youth Haven home is a licensed staffed
residential home for up to 12 youth. We provide safe, stable,
temporary living alternatives to youth who are dealing with family crisis. The agency offers counseling and referral services to assist in the first
steps toward family reconciliation or finding a safe, stable housing
alternative.
For immediate help, youth may call the 24-hour hotline listed on this page. It connects them with trained staff who determine whether the caller is eligible for placement and make referrals, when appropriate, to other programs.
Youth Haven is staffed with a live-in house
supervisor providing guidance and supervision. Youth attend school and participate in social activities
and weekend outings. Additionally, a Therapeutic Case
Manager meets with each child and his or her family to work towards
reconciliation and reunification.
Ages served: Youth age 7-17
