Services delivered include up to 21 days of temporary emergency shelter, food, clothing, counseling, case management, and health care referrals, with a primary focus on reuniting youth with their families when safe to do so or locating appropriate alternative placements.

Claremont Learning Partnership, a New Hampshire-based nonprofit organization specializing in youth homelessness services, operates this program as a prime recipient of federal grant funding. The organization also manages complementary initiatives including the OASIS Teen Shelter program for transitional living and has received sub-awards supporting educational programming and housing services through partnerships with state agencies. The three-year project period aligns with standard Basic Center Program award structures, which typically fund 12- to 21-bed emergency shelters providing comprehensive outreach and intervention services to prevent youth involvement with law enforcement and child welfare systems.
