My Friend’s Place
My Friend’s Place is Klamath County’s only voluntary shelter for youth ages 10–17 who are experiencing homelessness, have run away or are at risk. Open 24/7, the shelter offers short-term housing for up to 21 days in a safe, supportive environment.
All services are provided free of charge and include shelter, meals, and access to supportive resources designed to help youth stabilize, feel safe, and take their next steps toward long-term well-being.
Our Approach at My Friend’s Place
Safe Space
Providing a safe, structured environment where youth can rest, eat, learn, socialize, and plan for the future alongside supportive peers and trusted adult role models. The program prioritizes both physical and emotional safety while fostering stability, dignity, and respect.
All services are offered regardless of a youth’s gender identity, culture, ethnicity, income, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation.
Continuum of Care
My Friend’s Place works closely with other Integral Youth Services programs and partners to provide coordinated, wraparound support tailored to each youth’s needs. This integrated approach ensures continuity of care during and after a shelter stay.
Staff are trained in Trauma-Informed Care and utilize evidence-based practices such as Crisis Prevention Intervention, Collaborative Problem Solving, and related supportive frameworks to respond thoughtfully and effectively to youth in crisis.
Permanent Solutions
My Friend’s Place partners with families and community partners to help youth build positive, sustainable paths forward. Through family reunification when appropriate, strengthening natural support systems, and teaching practical life skills, youth are supported in creating individualized exit plans that promote long-term stability and independence.
