Huckleberry House

Huckleberry House works with central Ohio’s youth and families who are dealing with some of the most difficult problems imaginable. Issues like abuse, violence, neglect, poverty, and homelessness. No matter how hopeless the situation may seem, we offer proven programs and committed people who know how to help young people and families take control of their lives. So they can move past the circumstances they’re in, and move toward the future they want.

Since 1970, Huckleberry House has been reaching young people and their families to build stronger lives. We do this work in four core programs:

• Central Ohio’s only 24-hour shelter for 12-17 year olds,
• An 18-month transitional living program for 17-22 year olds who have experienced homelessness and are preparing to live independently in permanent housing,
• A youth outreach program that meets young people where they are to connect them to resources in our community, and
• A counseling program that helps families identify strengths to fix what is wrong
