1.800.RUNAWAY PSA Features Former Huckleberry House Client, Soy

by

“I really didn’t feel safe anymore at home,” says Soy, a former client at Huckleberry House. She is the first young person featured in this PSA created by the National Runaway Safeline.

The PSA was created as a resource to young people seeking help.  Click the image above to watch the full PSA.

This federal PSA campaign was released alongside a study that looks at the varied experiences of homeless youth ages 14-21 in 11 cities.

The study found that more than half the homeless youth became homeless the first time because they were asked to leave by a parent or a caregiver.

On average, youth had been homeless for 23 months. Only 29.5 percent reported they had the option to return home.

The study also found:

  • About half the participants had experienced foster care. Those with a foster care history had been homeless for an average of 27.5 months, compared with 19.3 months for their peers.
  • Twenty percent of the youth identified as bisexual, 10 percent as gay or lesbian and 6.8 percent as transgender. The percentage of transgender youth was three times higher than a recent national estimate of transgender youth, which the researchers said could reflect the inclusion of several major cities that have providers who are more accepting of transgender youth or provide more culturally appropriate services.
  • 14 percent of homeless youth reported caring for a child
  • 9 percent were pregnant

⭐ Last week marked the first week back for SFUSD, and the red carpet was rolled out for students at Willie L. Brown, Jr. Middle School. ⭐

Huckleberry's SEEDS of Change team proudly welcomed students back, bringing positive energy and cheer as students arrived, setting a welcoming tone for the school year and making the youth feel celebrated! 🎉 (Pictured is Lily, SEEDS Intervention Specialist). 🎉

Huckleberry’s SEEDS program, part of the SF Youth Justice Initiative, partners with students and families to strengthen school engagement, reduce absenteeism and discipline issues, and support a successful transition from middle to high school — all with the long-term goal of preventing youth involvement in the juvenile justice system.
