Youth Shelter Awaiting Licensing Process To Open

Work toward opening a new shelter in The Dalles to youths who are homeless or in crisis in the region is continuing.  Youth Empowerment Shelter founder Gary Casady says they are waiting for the licensing process with the Oregon Department of Human Services to be completed, and he is unsure when that will be.  The shelter has leased a house at 514 East 9th in The Dalles to provide a place for ten to twelve youth to stay.  Casady says they will work with youth services agencies to provide various services to help those who stay at the shelter, including mediation with the family and medical and mental health treatment.  The shelter plans to serve Wasco, Hood River, Klickitat, Skamania, Sherman, and Gilliam counties.
