Station 7<https://www.lookingglass.us/station-7> is an overnight shelter for folks aged 11 to 20, with the goal of supporting those who lack safe and secure housing. This includes those who have left without the permission of their guardians, those who have been asked to leave, and those who otherwise don’t have a safe place to be.

Each person's stay at Station 7 will look different depending on their needs.

  *   For those under the age of 18, Station 7 will attempt to get them reunified with a safe and stable adult.
              *   If that is not a possibility, staff will work to find alternative housing options while exploring other goals.
  *   For those 18-20 staff will work with them to identify their goals and steps that can be taken to achieve them, with one goal always being safe and stable housing.
  *   Stays can be up to 21 days with the possibility to extend that time as needed to support folks in finding a safe exit.
  *   While staying, guests are also provided the opportunity to build community with one another through daily rec activities, house meetings, and various skill building opportunities.
