Youth Street Outreach
We offer a Youth Street Outreach program, which provides outreach in both the Jackson and Johnson County area to youth (12-24 years old) experiencing homelessness. Outreach teams reach out if you are sleeping in encampments, vacant buildings, your car, under bridges, or if you are fleeing violence, and/or experiencing unstable housing to provide street-based case management services and referrals.
We are recognized as a S.A.F.E. Place site. If you are in need of immediate help and safety please call (816) 741-8700 OR text SAFE and your location to #44357.
