1 in 7 children will run away before the age of 18.
1 in 10 18-24 year olds endures some form of homelessness each year.
1 in 20 young adults are couch surfing for shelter.
Over 50% of young people in shelter and on the streets report that their parents told them to leave or knew they were leaving and didn't care.
Huckleberry House shelters, supports, and guides youth navigating challenges. Their vision is thriving youth, no matter their journey.
In 2022, Huck House provided 35,933 total nights of shelter in the teen crisis shelter and 113 transitional living apartments for 18-24 year olds. They also provided 10,874 hours of counseling and mental health services for youth and families. Their outreach team responded to 600 requests for support and linkages to resources.
I am sleeping out on Friday, April 21 in front of COSI to show up in solidarity with the youth who experience homelessness on a daily basis. Please consider supporting my fundraiser for Huckleberry House so they can keep opening doors for central Ohio youth.
