Thank You For Supporting Bloom House Youth Services!

The Bloom House mission is to be an inclusive refuge providing a culture of acceptance to vulnerable, at risk, and homeless youth. We use a commonsense approach to those we serve, through our supportive services, which include case management, art therapy, and life skills education to ensure a stable and empowered future.

BHYS is a Basic Center, meaning we offer a Drop In Center and Shelter created in the Basic Center Program model for youth under 18, we offer shelter and services to homeless and runaway youth and any youth in need who may be housing insecure or at risk. Our services include trauma-informed art therapy and case management services, fiduciary services, referrals to other area resources, access to food, bathrooms and laundry faciliites, a safe place to study, gather, learn life skills, have fun, and always - we have safe adults if you or someone you know needs to talk.

Our staff are all committed to our non discrimination policy, but more than that - committed to being that soft place to land for the most vulnerable youth in our community. It goes beyond non-discrimination and acceptance; what is needed is active support and advocacy. That is what Bloom House stands for, a welcome space for all. Stand with us!
