RUNAWAY & HOMELESS YOUTH (RHY)
The goal of the Runaway and Homeless Youth Program is to ensure the safety of youth and help them to get off the streets, to reunite youth with their families whenever possible. The program serves youth up to age 21 years and their families. Services are free and confidential. Short-term residential services are provided via volunteer Host Family Homes or staff will work with youth on a non-residential basis. Other services offered include: Crisis Counseling; intervention; referrals to other agencies/services; advocacy with other agencies; prevention education; transportation when necessary and aftercare services. The program is in operation 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. The youth must call to initiate services, as the program is voluntary. Call 315-339-4960 or 315-797-8500.
