About me:
Compass House offers a unique service to the Western New York. We are the only shelter and service provider for both male and female runaway and homeless youth between the ages of 12 through 20. In fact, we are one of the oldest shelters for runaway and homeless youth in the country. The young people that we serve are the youth that fall through the cracks. These youth are often rejected by their families, as well as by the very systems set up to protect them. (i.e. schools, foster care, group homes, etc.)
Compass House has two program sites. Our Emergency Shelter program is housed in our own building on 370 Linwood Avenue. This facility is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to provide access to services for young people in need of emergency shelter. Youth are provided with short-term, (overnight to 30 days) of shelter and counseling services. Round the clock coverage is provided by a minimum of 2 Youth Counselors on each shift.
The Resource Center is located at 1451 Main Street and is open Monday through Friday, 9-7. The Resource Center houses the counseling program, independent living program and Business Office.
We offer young people an opportunity to be treated with dignity and respect as they work towards resolving the difficulties that brought them to our agency. We are non-judgmental and non-authoritarian in our approach to working with youth and their families, we look to resolve problems not assign blame.
