Working to End Youth Homelessness
Approximately 4.2 million youth ages 13 to 25 experience homelessness each year in the United States.
For 50 years, the National Runaway Safeline (NRS) has been providing crisis intervention services to young people and their families while also offering prevention, educational and training programs to the network of runaway and homeless youth (RHY) service providers nationwide. This work directly supports our mission of keeping runaway, homeless and at-risk youth safe and off the streets.
