YouthCare’s shelters offer young people immediate safety from the streets and the elements. Young people can stay for short periods of time while they work with supportive staff to either find housing or reunify with their family. YouthCare provides short-term shelter for youth, ages 12-17, and young adults, ages 18-24.

Under-18 Shelter & Services

Adolescent Shelter at Paul G. Allen Hope Center 

The Hope Center opened in 2016 following a landmark gift from the Paul G. Allen Foundation. Adolescent Shelter is a twelve-bed shelter for youth ages 12-17 who are experiencing homelessness, housing instability, or family conflict, or who are state-dependent and awaiting a foster care placement. The shelter provides nurturing trauma-informed care while working to reunify youth with their families or guardians or find safe and stable long-term housing.
