The SHYP is an 18 month program that serves youth (16 to 20) who are at risk for, or who are experiencing, homelessness. When a youth is referred to the SHYP, he or she meets with a counselor who completes a comprehensive assessment that details the needs; housing, employment, medical attention, and personal history. Once qualification is determined, the counselor makes arrangements to secure housing. Participation is voluntary and is an opportunity for a successful journey to personal independence.Once housed, the counselor meets with the youth on a regular basis to develop and carry out a case plan for independence.
