At times, efforts needed to reunite families require intensive intervention in order to help family members learn new, more productive ways of relating to one another and strategies for managing their lives. If reunification is not an option, agency staff can assist the youth in learning basic life skills such as completing school, finding a job, and keeping healthy.
Services to youth include outreach, crisis intervention, stabilization, emergency shelter, and long-term support and aftercare. The Youth Service Bureau's programs are individualized based on need and are flexible, comprehensive, responsive, have a family focus (where appropriate) and sets high standards of quality and good management.

HUD Program
Report
The Youth Service Bureau's HUD program for homeless youth provides services to adolescents and legally emancipated minors that are homeless.
Through outreach and the Youth Service Bureau's intake process, homeless youth are provided with services.
Our goal is to successfully transition participants to independence by providing them with a safe, stable shelter, allowing services to be put into place that will promote a successful transition to independence and permanent housing.
It has been our experience with this population that most young adults are not capable of successfully making the jump from shelter to an independent living situation without supportive services.
