Overview of the HYS 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: PEER Shelter, Station 7, and New Roads.
The Behavioral Health Resource Network is an Oregon state network, in response to Measure 110 and Oregon Senate Bill 755, consisting of a network of entities providing services related to the healthy management of substance use concerns.
