Youth Service Bureau (YSB)

The YSB’s mission is “To inspire youth and families to recognize their strengths and power to live, learn, socialize and work in their community”. 

Youth who access YSB services are homeless, fleeing abusive or dangerous situations or experiencing severe family conflict.YSB provides a variety of services to support youth with addressing the conflict in their lives. YSB services include a 24-hour youth crisis hotline, street outreach and drop-in services, temporary emergency shelter, and long term transitional housing. The Youth Service Bureau is the only program in Humboldt County providing short and long term housing for runaway and homeless young people.
