Topics: Runaway and and Homeless Youth

Across the country, many young people have no place safe to stay. They sleep on the streets, in cars or on their friends’ couches. Through its Runaway and Homeless Youth Programs, the Family and Youth Services Bureau funds initiatives that serve and protect these young people. NCFY offers many resources for organizations that serve runaway and homeless youth in emergency shelters and longer-term residential programs as well as through street outreach.
