Jackson Street Youth Shelter is here to promote safety, stability, and well‐being for youth. We work to prevent homelessness by showing a path to long‐term success through positive relationships and self-sufficiency. Youth can refer themselves to our services and may have experienced or been exposed to violence, neglect or trauma. Parents or guardians can also seek us out in order to help keep their vulnerable family together. We team up with community partners such as juvenile justice, mental health or schools to help an individual youth or family in crisis.
