Improvements<br />

Building Healthier Homes. And Stronger Families.


<strong>Huckleberry</strong> <strong>House</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

Improving Homes—Ours and Theirs.<br />

If you’ve ever undertaken a home improvement<br />

project, you know the work can be challenging.<br />

And that the rewards are well worth the effort.<br />

At <strong>Huckleberry</strong> <strong>House</strong>, we have been making<br />

home improvements every day since opening our<br />

doors in 1970. In the traditional sense of the term,<br />

we physically maintain the Huck <strong>House</strong> shelter<br />

in order to provide teens with a safe, comforting<br />

place to turn when they need it most.<br />

But we go far beyond offering shelter to teens in<br />

crisis. In fact, our biggest ‘home improvements’<br />

actually occur in the homes of our clients. Through<br />

our programs—Crisis, Transitional Living, Youth<br />

Outreach, and Family Support—we work to give<br />

all teens a safe and supportive home life.<br />

Sometimes that means putting a family back together<br />

after a crisis.<br />

Other times, it means providing ongoing support<br />

to help families stay ahead of their problems and<br />

avoid future crises.<br />

And sometimes it means helping a transition-age<br />

teen set up a home of her own.<br />

Whatever the situation, the staff at Huck <strong>House</strong><br />

strives to give all teens the resources and support<br />

they need to establish the best possible home. In<br />

FY<strong>2012</strong>, we made significant progress toward<br />

that goal. We invested not only in renovating our<br />

physical structure, but also in overhauling our<br />

programs and service delivery methods to better<br />

address the home life issues of all teens in need.


<strong>Huckleberry</strong> <strong>House</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

Because of our home improvements this past year,<br />

teens and families in our community now have:<br />

• Access to a remodeled, handicap-accessible<br />

bathroom in the shelter<br />

• Structured learning, skill-building, and physical<br />

fitness opportunities while staying in the<br />

shelter<br />

• More relevant, effective assistance for achieving<br />

housing, financial, and health and wellness<br />

goals<br />

• Ongoing support to prevent reunified families<br />

from facing future crises<br />

• Outreach where it’s needed most—in schools,<br />

at local hangouts, and on the streets<br />

As you read more about this year’s home improvements<br />

on the following pages, we’re confident<br />

you’ll agree that the efforts—and the investments<br />

made by so many individuals and organizations—<br />

are truly paying off.<br />

On behalf of the hundreds of at-risk, transitionage,<br />

and in-crisis teens whose homes you helped<br />

improve this year, we hope you will renew your<br />

support in <strong>2012</strong>. And allow Huck <strong>House</strong> to continue<br />

making home improvements—in every<br />

sense of the word.

Crisis Program<br />

Strengthening our shelter. Inside and out.<br />

A safe alternative to the streets.<br />

The Crisis Program provides a temporary, safe,<br />

and supportive place to call home when teens<br />

need it most. A teen may be running from a dangerous<br />

or difficult situation at home. Or he may<br />

find himself without a home. Whatever the circumstances,<br />

teens can find a warm bed and a hot<br />

meal within our walls. Just as important, they can<br />

find the support they need to return to a better<br />

life at their own homes.<br />

So much more than an emergency shelter, the<br />

Crisis Program is committed to improving the<br />

situations that cause teens to run in the first place.<br />

Through one-one-one, group, and family counseling<br />

sessions, Crisis Counselors work with teens,<br />

their families, and callers to our Crisis Hotline, to<br />

address problems at home and find safe solutions<br />

that meet all family members’ needs.<br />

<strong>Huckleberry</strong> <strong>House</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

FY<strong>2012</strong> Focuses and<br />

Improvements<br />

During FY<strong>2012</strong>, both our physical shelter and<br />

the programs offered within its walls received<br />

a makeover. By providing a more comfortable,<br />

more structured, and more productive experience<br />

for kids in crisis, we empowered teens to work on<br />

the skills needed to reunite with their families and<br />

improve their lives at home.<br />

Shelter Renovations<br />

Building on improvements begun in 2011, Huck<br />

<strong>House</strong> continued to renovate our 100+-yearold<br />

shelter with a focus on addressing structural<br />

issues and making the space more welcoming<br />

and comfortable. Thanks to funding provided<br />

by American Electric Power Foundation, Nationwide<br />

Insurance Foundation, Osteopathic<br />

Heritage Foundation, Limited Brands, Huntington<br />

Bank, Smoot Construction, the City of<br />

Columbus, Cahill Construction, Shremshock<br />

and Brickman Landscaping and the <strong>Huckleberry</strong><br />

<strong>House</strong> Board Fund, we were able to execute quality<br />

renovations that will withstand heavy use for<br />

years to come.<br />

Renovations included:<br />

• Restoring and repairing the building’s exterior<br />

• Expanding both the girls’ and boys’ bathrooms<br />

• Doubling the size of the kitchen<br />

• Completely remodeling the dining room<br />

• Adding a handicapped-accessible bathroom on<br />

the first floor<br />

Health, Wellness, and Community Involvement<br />

Huck <strong>House</strong> partnered with Columbus Recreation<br />

and Parks to make physical fitness a part of the everyday<br />

experience at the shelter. Huck <strong>House</strong> also<br />

worked closely with other community organizations<br />

that graciously volunteered their time and facilities.<br />

Teens toured the Wexner Center and attended various<br />

performing arts events. They participated in a hip-hop<br />

dance class at the Central Community <strong>House</strong>. Thanks<br />

to these and other experiences, teens explored their interests<br />

and engaged in positive activities that enhanced<br />

their wellbeing and sense of community belonging.<br />

Learning and Skill Building<br />

The Crisis Program expanded the variety of daily educational<br />

sessions and group activities available to teens<br />

in the shelter. These structured activities promoted<br />

general learning, helped teens develop specific skills,<br />

and gave them opportunities to process their feelings.<br />

Session topics ran the gamut from current events,<br />

culture, and geography, to healthy relationships, anger<br />

management, self-awareness, and positive communications.<br />

Transitional Living Program<br />

Healthier, happier homes of their own.<br />

Teaching teens to live independently.<br />

Some teens can’t go home. They may be homeless.<br />

Or they may face family problems, such as<br />

violence or drug abuse, that make it unsafe for<br />

them to return to their former homes. Through<br />

the Transitional Living Program, Huck <strong>House</strong><br />

helps transition-age youth establish homes of<br />

their own.<br />

Beyond securing four walls and a roof, Independent<br />

Living Mentors work one-on-one with the<br />

teens in the program to help them set and achieve<br />

financial, health and wellness, education, parenting,<br />

and employment goals. Through the Transitional<br />

Living Program, transition-age youth develop<br />

the independent living skills they need not only to<br />

survive, but to thrive.<br />

<strong>Huckleberry</strong> <strong>House</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

FY<strong>2012</strong> Focuses and<br />

Improvements<br />

This past fiscal year, Huck <strong>House</strong> renovated the<br />

Transitional Living Program to more effectively<br />

engage transition-age youth. By better connecting<br />

and relating with these youth and addressing their<br />

specific needs, the program focused on breaking<br />

the cycle of generational poverty and helping teens<br />

succeed not only at finding a house, but at making<br />

a successful home.<br />

Financial Coaching<br />

Independent Living Mentors received training<br />

on a financial coaching approach that focuses on<br />

connecting and relating budgeting and financial<br />

lessons with teens’ real life situations. The coaching<br />

is tailored to each teen’s personal values and<br />

preexisting attitudes toward money. Coaches<br />

worked with teens to make minor budgeting/<br />

money management adjustments one at a time<br />

and to celebrate and build on each small achievement<br />

along the way. Through this approach,<br />

teens gained confidence in their money management<br />

abilities and were more successful at adopting<br />

and applying sound financial practices.<br />

Health and Wellness<br />

Beyond financial health, the Transitional Living<br />

Program focused on the physical and mental<br />

well-being of the teens in the program. Health<br />

and wellness initiatives promoted physical fitness,<br />

combated isolation and depression, and instilled<br />

a sense on community in youth by introducing<br />

them to community resources.<br />

including a weekly cardiovascular class.<br />

Primary Care Physicians<br />

Transition-age youth in the program received<br />

assistance with finding primary care physicians<br />

and scheduling and keeping appointments. Using<br />

PCPs helped reduce dependence on emergency<br />

room care and improved the quality of healthcare<br />

the teens received.<br />

Parenting Skills<br />

Many transition-age youth have their own young<br />

children. This year, the program once again offered<br />

a parenting track to emphasize and teach<br />

essential parenting skills for raising and enjoying<br />

children.<br />

Family Support Program<br />

Reunified families. Happier homes.<br />

Ongoing support for long-term stability.<br />

All families have problems. And sometimes, those<br />

problems can tear families apart, causing teens to<br />

run to a friend or relative’s house, to shelter like<br />

Huck <strong>House</strong>, or worse, to the streets.<br />

Following a crisis, trauma, or other family problem,<br />

the Family Support Program works hard to<br />

put families back together—and keep them that<br />

way. Through family and individual counseling<br />

conducted at the Huck <strong>House</strong> or in the family’s<br />

home, the Family Support Program offers ongoing<br />

support to teens and families in need. This<br />

continuum of care helps teens and their families<br />

get to the root of problems that cause teens to<br />

leave home and find solutions that can improve<br />

and sustain a better home life for every member of<br />

the family.<br />

<strong>Huckleberry</strong> <strong>House</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

FY<strong>2012</strong> Focuses and<br />

Improvements<br />

This year, the Family Support Program focused on<br />

providing long-term services to teens coming to the<br />

Huck <strong>House</strong> through the Crisis and Youth Outreach<br />

Programs. By continuing to support these teens<br />

following a crisis and involving their families in the<br />

process, Huck <strong>House</strong> helped families make longterm<br />

positive changes to prevent future problems<br />

and decrease return visits to the crisis shelter.<br />

Ongoing Services for Shelter and Street Teens<br />

The Family Support Program provided services<br />

to more teens entering the Huck <strong>House</strong> through<br />

the Crisis Program and Youth Outreach Program<br />

than ever before. Counselors worked to establish<br />

relationships with teens and to conduct family<br />

sessions during their time at the shelter. All clients<br />

were encouraged to continue receiving services<br />

through the Family Support Program.<br />

Support for a Wide Variety of Family Problems<br />

Counselors helped teens and families with problems<br />

including school problems, substance abuse,<br />

housing issues, mental health issues, coming out<br />

problems, and immigration and assimilation difficulties.<br />

Counselors and case managers worked<br />

with teens and families to identify strengths, develop<br />

coping skills, and change negative behaviors.<br />

Youth Outreach Program<br />

Helping outside of our home.<br />

Taking our services to the streets.<br />

Teens don’t have to come to Huck <strong>House</strong> for the<br />

help they need to improve their lives. Huck <strong>House</strong><br />

will go to them. Through a patient, persistent<br />

approach, the Youth Outreach Program connects<br />

with kids on their turf—at schools, community<br />

centers and playgrounds, shopping centers, and on<br />

the streets. The Youth Outreach Program is the only<br />

local program that brings counseling services and<br />

support directly to teens in need to help them improve<br />

situations at home, at school, and in their lives.<br />

Youth Outreach counselors work with teens to<br />

address family, school, employment, and housing<br />

problems. They distribute literature, health and hygiene<br />

packets, and food and drink items. And they<br />

connect at-risk young people with resources in the<br />

community that can help them resolve their problems<br />

and lead healthier, happier lives.<br />

11


<strong>Huckleberry</strong> <strong>House</strong> <strong>2012</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

FY<strong>2012</strong> Focuses and<br />

Improvements<br />

This past year, the Youth Outreach Program concentrated<br />

on strengthening relationships with at<br />

risk-youth as well as with community stakeholders<br />

and advocates for teenagers and young adults. By<br />

enabling young people in need to take advantage<br />

of the help available to them, the Youth Outreach<br />

Program empowered troubled teens to take charge<br />

of their situations, work things out at school and at<br />

home, and stay off the streets and out of crisis.<br />

Positive Youth Development Model<br />

The Youth Outreach Program bases its efforts on<br />

the theory of Positive Youth Development, which<br />

believes that with guidance and support from caring<br />

adults, all young people can grow up healthy<br />

and happy. Following this model, counselors<br />

worked with youth to identify their individual<br />

strengths and apply those strengths to problem<br />

areas, such as school issues or trouble at home. By<br />

helping youth recognize their unique capabilities,<br />

the Positive Youth Development Model empowered<br />

youth to leverage existing strengths to enhance<br />

all areas of their lives.<br />

Housing for Transition-Age Youth<br />

More and more transition-age youth are faced<br />

with the problem of homelessness. By continually<br />

seeking out and strengthening its housing-related<br />

connections, the Youth Outreach Program helped<br />

transition-age youth find housing of their own<br />

and offered support to these teens during their<br />

time of transition.<br />

Bullying and Violence Prevention<br />

Because of the prevalence of bullying within our<br />

schools and communities, the Youth Outreach<br />

Program tailored a large percentage of its presentations<br />

to this pressing topic. Huck <strong>House</strong> partnered<br />

with seven high schools to implement Peer<br />

Mediation Models, empowering young people to<br />

speak out against violence, to become invested in<br />

their own safety and the safety of their peers, and<br />

to serve as leaders in their schools.<br />

Established three years ago, the Flip the Script<br />

Rebel movement offers a safe and supportive<br />

environment for teens to rebel against problems<br />

in their schools and communities, such as vio-<br />

lence and peer pressure. Huck <strong>House</strong> held its third<br />

annual Rebel Youth Summit in June. Themed<br />

‘Building Peace by Piece,’ the summit attracted<br />

176 young people and gave them a platform to<br />

explore their feelings, speak their minds, and take<br />

charge of their futures. Huck <strong>House</strong> also held<br />

a small scale Rebel event in November to bring<br />

awareness to Runaway Prevention Month.<br />
