Family Resources & Assistance
Community-based Services
PRIME Family Resources offers a variety of community-based services and resources aimed at helping families with children remain intact in the face of significant stress and crisis.
The Vermont Coalition for Runaway and Homeless Youth Program provides shelter, family counseling and/or mediation, coordination and general case management to youth ages 12 to 22 who are on their own or at risk of losing their ‘home’ for any reason. This program provides 24 hour, 7 days a week on-call services and short-term shelter placement. Shelter can be provided, if the client is willing, in the home of a family for up to 14 days. The goal of removal from a family situation is first and foremost for the safety of all family members. Coordination of relevant resources can be effected through the program. Reintegration of the family unit is the plan though this is not always a workable solution.
