A Basic Center Provides for your basic needs.

We're here for all teens in need, 24/7, 365 no matter what! Basic Center Programs like ours are designed to offer solutions to all the basic needs you might have as well as short term emergency shelter for runaway and homeless youth. The most frequent reason teens run away from home is due to poor family dynamics and difficult relationships with parents, so in addition to shelter, we offer therapy for you and your family, and even individual sessions for your parents if they want! Our goal is to help ensure family preservation and reunification whenever safe! And if home is not safe, we work together with other local agencies to get you somewhere that is!

Have A Need? We Got You! services open to teens & their families:
