Details:
The purpose of the BCP is to provide emergency shelter and counseling services to runaway and homeless youth, under the age of 18, who have left home without the permission of their parents or guardians; have been forced to leave their home; cannot live safely with a parent, legal guardian, or relative; have no other safe alternative living arrangement; or other homeless youth who might otherwise end up in contact with law enforcement or in the child welfare, mental health, or juvenile justice systems.
This enabled community-based organizations to operate short-term shelters (congregate care and host family homes) to provide emergency care to youth who have run away and youth experiencing homelessness who were not already receiving services from the child welfare or juvenile justice systems. Therefore, the primary purpose of the BCP is to provide shelter services to youth under the age of 18 who have run away from home and/or are otherwise experiencing homelessness or housing instability.
Goals
Provide temporary emergency shelter and counseling services to eligible youth under the age of 18 who have run away or left home without the permission of their parents or guardians have been forced to leave their home, or are youth living on the street or youth experiencing homelessness who might otherwise end up in contact with law enforcement or in the child welfare, mental health, or juvenile justice systems.
Vision
Establish and/or strengthen community-based projects that meet the immediate needs of youth who have run away or have left home without permission, youth experiencing homelessness, and youth living on the street through the provisions of temporary shelter and services that encourage family reunification, when in the best interest of the youth.
