Overview of the HYS and BHRN 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 four individual programs: PEER Shelter, Station 7, New Roads, and the Rural program.

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. The BHRN program is a new extension of the services provided at the Homeless Youth Services. At HYS the BHRN services will provide support to youth who are experiencing substance use issues.
