OASIS Youth Shelter

OASIS Youth Shelter provides emergency safe housing for youth ages 13-17 offering a safe haven for youth experiencing a personal or family crisis. OASIS provides 24/7 shelter care and basic needs support for youth who have experienced abuse, neglect, human trafficking or those youth who have run away or are in need of safe housing due to a variety of circumstances.

OASIS is a caring and healing home where supportive staff help youth establish goals and support them with family reunification. When returning home is not the safest choice, youth receive support with alternative, stable living arrangements. 

OASIS Youth Shelter provides:

• 24/7 shelter care
• food, clothing, medical services
• individual, group, parent, and family counseling
• substance abuse prevention and education
• youth advocacy with DCPP, schools, courts, and police
• educational assistance and life-skills training
• recreational activities

Center For Family Services Safe and Supportive Housing programs provide a continuum of care for youth in need of a long-term safe place to live.

If you are a young person experiencing homelessness and are in need of a safe place to live, contact the Youth Emergency Shelter 24/7 Hotline: 800.255.4213. For information on the National Runaway Switchboard, please call 1.800.runaway or visit www.1800runaway.org
