Our Story

Working Towards a Better Tomorrow

Youth In The Community is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Detroit, Michigan, providing emergency temporary shelter for homeless, runaway, and abandoned youth. We have 12 licensed beds dedicated to providing 24/7 shelter care for youth ages 12-25, and we provide Temporary housing as well as shelter for teens.

Our mission is to provide temporary shelter for runaways and youth in crisis, enabling them to come through the crisis with an increased personal strength and a sense of renewal while in a supportive environment, with family reunification as a primary goal.
