offered to residents of Baraga, Houghton, and

Although
its main focus is to reunify youth with their parents/guardians, the
program can also assist youth who are unwilling or unable to be reunified
by empowering them and helping them to secure safe and stable living
arrangements. Furthermore, Project: HOPE can assist youth who are at-risk
of running away or becoming homeless by providing services to help
stabilize and strengthen the family core. Depending on a youth’s
particular needs, services provided can include, but are not limited to,
crisis intervention, mediation, temporary emergency shelter,
transportation, individual, family, and group counseling, information and
referrals, parenting education, life skills training, job shadowing
opportunities, tutoring, mentoring, positive youth development activities,
advocacy, and aftercare services.
