Congratulations Julie Hessel!
Welcome
The
Jackson Street Youth Shelter is a state licensed, 501(c) (3)
private, non-profit agency that has provided services to
hundreds of youth and their families since 2001.
Jackson Street Youth Shelter serves boys and girls ages
10-17 years who are experiencing crisis in their lives in
Benton, Linn, and Lincoln counties. We have nine beds at the
shelter and are open 24 hours, seven days a week throughout
the year.
Jackson Street Youth Shelter is located at 555 NW Jackson
Ave. in Corvallis, across from the law enforcement building.
We've Purchased!
We've succesfully completed our
capital campaign to purchase the house where the shelter has been
residing since 2001. We offer a special thanks to
David Gore
Meyer Memorial Trust
City of Corvallis
Community Block Grant
Bill and Nancy Swindells Family Trust
Rod Terry
And all of the generous donors that made this possible. This campaign adds stability to the organization and will save
the shelter $20,000 per year in rent.
Also, a big Thank You to Steven Black, who originally purchased the
house to be used as a shelter and has now sold it to JSYS.
Now we begin work on some long overdue upgrades to the house......Stay tuned.
