What happens when you reach out
-
1
You talk to a real person. They ask what you need, not for documentation.
-
2
Together you figure out which program fits — or which partner agency does, if we're not the right place.
-
3
If you come into a program, you get a case manager and at least a year of support after it ends.
What you tell us stays private, unless there's a safety concern or the law requires us to share it. We serve youth of every race, orientation, and identity — Youth Oasis was Louisiana's first LGBTQ+ affirming shelter.
