Section I. In the Beginning: Spectrum Youth and Family Services is a community-based youth service agency with community outreach, shelter, transitional living, educational and substance abuse treatment programs serving approximately 2600 youths per year. The youth homeless shelter serves as an entry point for short term, temporary supported housing, where the youth identifies how they got to be homeless and develops a plan for employment, permanent housing and independence. A positive discharge from the shelter includes going to Spectrum’s Single Room Occupancy (SRO, providing up to 18 months supported housing and case management), Own apartment, Drug treatment, College, Job Corps, Family, or other improved living conditions.
