Safehouse & Haven
We’re here when you need us.
Directions operates two safehouses with confidential locations to give you a safe, supportive place to sleep. Both sites process referrals and intakes 24/7/365. If either is full, we will help you find other options. We want to make sure you have somewhere safe to be and food to eat. Hang out, rest, connect with our staff, and (if you want to) work on the things that matter to you.
If you need safe, stable, confidential emergency shelter, Directions Youth Services has two options: Safehouse and Haven.
At both, we can give you:
- private and semi-private rooms
- home-cooked meals and snacks
- 24-hour support from on-site youth support workers
- help with applications for things like ID and income assistance programs
- support with finding permanent housing
- strategies to build your independence
- connections to other help and resources (including other Directions programs)
