Mission Statement
To provide a
safe, supportive environment where Salem's at-risk and homeless youth
may have their immediate needs met as well as have positive
opportunities to reconnect with their community.
Welcome to Home Youth & Resource Center! Last
year, more than 800 youth visited HOME; about 20% were
recently homeless. More than 7,800 meals were served.

In the words of
some of our youth:
HOME helps (me) ”stay off drugs”…. “ I love
home, it is great”… “HOME should be open every day and night”
… “HOME gave me someone to turn to when I needed help” … “HOME
helped get my life back together. Made me open up my eyes”…
“HOME has been a positive place for me to hang out and get
good advice about family and social issues…helped me with
food, clothes, school”… “helps me with my problems”…(helps me)
stay in school and be kinder”.
