Casa Youth Shelter

The goal of our Residential Shelter Care Program is to help residents stabilize their lives in order to reunify them with their families and instill the necessary skills to become active contributors to their communities. During the youth's stay at the shelter, we provide three nutritious meals a day with snacks and other basic needs such as hot showers, clean clothes and fresh linens for beds. Once residents' immediate needs are met, our professional counselors establish case management plans and work with residents to address both immediate crises and their underlying causes. Through both group and individual counseling, residents learn to develop the tools for self-sufficiency.Our home is always open, 24 hours a day, so that any youth who find themselves on the streets at any hour can seek shelter. We are accessible during the day to school officials and social services and are also a resource for local law enforcement officers who rescue teens from the streets in the middle of the night and bring them to Casa Youth Shelter for safekeeping and counseling.
