About this organization
Mission
Urban Peak ignites the potential in youth to exit homelessness and create self-determine, fulfilled lives.
About
Overnight Shelter and Day Services: Homeless youth are invited to stay at the shelter as long as they are actively receiving services and making progress on their case plan for achieving self-sufficiency or reunification with family. When youth enter the shelter, they participate in an intake assessment to help determine individual needs and identify personal barriers to exiting the streets. With a case manager, each youth develops a case plan to achieve stability and self-sufficiency by building on existing strengths and accessing community resources. Components of case management may include mental health assessment and intervention; legal advocacy; individual, group and family counseling referrals; substance abuse counseling and support; independent living program referrals; transportation assistance; education assistance; assistance obtaining ID's and birth certifications; peer leadership development; and more. Throughout our program services, Urban Peak has implemented an organizational structure and treatment framework called Trauma Informed Care (TIC). TIC involves understanding, recognizing, and responding to the effects of all types of trauma. We emphasize the physical, psychological, and emotional safety of both youth and staff, and assume that every youth accessing services has experienced trauma. In 2019, 319 unduplicated youth stayed at the shelter for 13,812 bed nights.
