PROCEDURE TO CONTACT THE SHELTER OR REFER A YOUTH

Shelter services for 10-17 year olds may be accessed by:

  • Calling (850)576.6000 extension 1. Crisis calls are accepted at this number 24 hours a day. Anyone can refer a youth (parents, teachers, law enforcement, churches, etc.) or the youth may self-refer.
  • Faxing our Referral Form to our office at (850) 576.2580. NOTE: Please call if this is a referral for immediate shelter. Faxes will be reviewed during business hours.
  • Youth may come directly to the shelter, be transported to the shelter by friend or family, or go to a Safe Place site and inform the employee on duty that they would like to go somewhere safe. Shelter staff will be contacted, and will arrange for the youth to be picked up and brought to the shelter.
