Brighton Center - Homeward Bound Runaway Shelter

Covington, KY 41014

Class of Housing/Services: shelter and transitional housing for youths ages: 12 to 17

General Information:
Homeward Bound is Northern Kentucky's only emergency shelter for homeless and runaway youth. The shelter accepts youth who are age 12 to 17 for residency if they have runaway from home, have been kicked out of their home, or at-risk of becoming a runaway. Homeward Bound also accepts youth who are in danger of being abused in their home. Many times these youth are referred to Brighton Center by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services or by a law enforcement agency to allow for a cooling off period between the youth and their parents. In addition many of the services of Homeward Bound are designed to aid in the reunificaiton of the youth in their home with the parents. Youth are directly supervised by staff who work in eight hour shifts around the clock. Unlike other residential programs, the staff at Homeward Bound never sleep, but instead will work their shift and then go off-duty. Transitional Living Program (TLP) TLP works with young adults (18-24) experiencing homelessness, helping them find safety from the streets, and giving them access to resources to help them move from crisis to healthy functioning and independent lives. Staff works with each youth to assess their circumstances, identify their needs, and set goals for positive lifestyle changes. We then provide guidance, support, and education to help youth acquire the tools they need in order to transform their lives.
