OSU STAR House serves homeless youth

Arising from a research grant, and in response to the lack of targeted services available in Central Ohio for homeless youth, the STAR House, a drop-in center for homeless youth, was opened in October 2006. Homeless youth are one of the most vulnerable populations in the world. These youth avoid services and are at risk for victimization and chronic homelessness well into adulthood. The STAR House serves between 20 to 40 homeless youth each day and its mission is to provide homeless youth a safe respite from the streets where they are able to meet their basic needs and begin reconnecting with the larger social system. To learn more about the OSU STAR House, please contact Jeana Patterson at patterson.597@osu.edu or visit www.osustarhouse.com.

OSUToday is publishing the Commit to our Communities feature to highlight your stories about the many service and outreach activities the university is involved in. Send items to be considered for publication to gammage.2@osu.edu. Limit text to 125 words and include contact information, a web link and a photo if applicable.
