The recognition that Southwest Washington had no community-based services to help homeless and runaway at-risk youth and their families led to the opening of the area’s first-ever emergency shelter in 1996.  That first step to provide safety off the streets and help for Southwest Washington youth ages 9 to 17 and their families, has grown into a coordinated continuum of services that today includes street outreach, a day-time drop-in center, an emergency shelter and housing programs that now serve thousands of young people and their families from across the Southwest Washington region every year.
