The Crisis  Center’s Safely Home started in 2007 to offer alternatives to boys and  girls ages 10 to 17 who are discovered by law enforcement on the streets, who may have runaway or who have been pushed out, asked or forced to leave. Safely Home is a referral/connection to our emergency shelter, Alternative  House.
