Huckleberry House

About

Program Descriptions

Crisis Program: Support children to develop safe plans to help with their problems. This also helps parents who may have questions or concerns about their children. The Crisis Program includes a 24/7 hotline (614-294-5553) and 24/7 shelter. The average stay at the shelter is three to five days. While there, licensed crisis counselors work with children and parents to develop a plan for reconciliation.

Family Support Program: helps children and families work through problems by providing ongoing counseling from experienced therapists. Flexible hours are offered to fit real-life schedules. Families can expect a safe and confidential environment. Therapists will work to help them make long-term changes.

Youth Outreach Program: helps youth by coming to them. Not all youth reach out to Huckleberry House first. Instead, the Youth Outreach Program goes to streets, schools, shopping malls, and other areas where youth hang out to give out information about the resources available to them at Huckleberry House. The Youth Outreach Team is non-judgmental and eager to help.

Transitional Living Program: helps young people live safely and successfully on their own. The program provides secure living arrangements and connections to important resources to young people who are experiencing homelessness. The program teaches young people skills like budgeting and cooking. The young people involved in the program are also expected to be going to school or have a job.

Project Safe Place: works with restaurants and 24-hour operations to get them to display a logo at their establishments. These signs let youth know what they can do if they need help. If youth can’t get to Huckleberry House by themselves, they can go to places like White Castle and Kroger and tell an employee they need “Safe Place Help.” Then, the establishment will call Huckleberry House, and they’ll arrange a safe way for them to get there.
