Overview of the HYS and BHRN Programs
The HYS programs focus on providing support to homeless or runaway youth in Lane County. With a 24-hour crisis hotline, individualized case management, emergency night shelter access, and a drop-in day shelter, staff help youth with life-skill development and provide access to basic needs. To accomplish these goals the HYS services are provided through three individual programs: Station 7, New Roads, and the Rural program.
