Casa Youth Shelter

Casa Youth Shelter is a non-profit organization based in Los Alamitos, California. With 34 employees, the organization focuses on providing vital support to youth in crisis. Casa Youth Shelter offers a comprehensive range of services designed to empower young people facing challenging situations. Their 24/7 emergency shelter provides a safe haven for youth aged 12 to 17 experiencing homelessness, abuse, or other crises. In addition to shelter, the organization provides non-residential counseling services to both youth and their families facing various personal and interpersonal difficulties. The shelter's program includes individual, family, and group counseling, life skills lessons, tutoring, expressive therapies, and parenting classes. Casa Youth Shelter also offers case management services to assist with critical needs such as housing, food, employment, and education. For ongoing support, the organization provides aftercare counseling, a teen drop-in group, and continued access to parenting classes and case management services for up to a year after a youth leaves the shelter. Casa Youth Shelter invites youth and families from all backgrounds but primarily serves communities in Orange and Los Angeles Counties where homelessness and poverty are prevalent.
