Every young person deserves a safe place to turn when they need help.

Safe Place provides immediate access to safety and support for youth facing challenges such as family conflict, homelessness, abuse, neglect, or other crises. Look for the yellow and black Safe Place sign at participating locations in your community.

When a young person reaches out, they don't have to face their situation alone.

When you picture someone experiencing homelessness, who comes to mind?

It could be a mom trying to keep her children’s routine together. A young person without a safe place to sleep. A neighbor working hard to find stability.

This World Homeless Day, we’re asking our community to look beyond assumptions and see the person—and the story—we may not know.

At CHS, that connection happens every day. Through Shuman HeartHouse, Casa de Noche Buena, Safe Place, Safe Passage, and our Street Outreach Programs, we help women, families, and young people find safety, connect with resources, and take steps toward stable housing.

Sometimes the first step is a warm meal, a place to rest, or someone who listens. Your support helps make those moments possible. đź’š

You don’t have to have everything figured out to ask for help. 💚

At CHS, we start by listening. What’s been hard lately? What do you need? Together, we can work on a next step that feels possible—whether that’s finding a safe place to stay, talking with a counselor, or getting support with recovery.
