Programs

We offer programs to help keep Central Ohio young people off the streets and on track for success.

Support Designed for Your Challenges and Needs

Everyone’s circumstances are different. And a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work when you’re addressing tough situations like homelessness, substance abuse, poverty, and violence. Huck House offers a variety of services so young people can access the support they need in a way that works for them and their families. 

Crisis Shelter

The Huckleberry House Crisis Shelter offers a safe, temporary place to stay for teens ages 12–17 who are dealing with a difficult, disruptive, or dangerous situation at home.

Counseling Center

The Counseling Center at Huckleberry House exists to work with young people ages 12 to 22 and their families to address tough topics like conflict, depression, and issues at school. We leverage individual and family strengths to make you stronger and healthier. 

Youth Outreach Program

We get that young people can’t always come to us. And that’s okay. Our Youth Outreach team can bring services and support to you at our YOP Shop, at a community center, or even on the street.

Housing Programs

If you don’t have a safe place to call home and you’re between the ages of 17 and 21, we can help. We can provide access to furnished apartment along with support and services that can help you maintain a home of your own.
