"INdawo eKhuselekileyo" kunye neendawo zokuhlala ezingxamisekileyo zolutsha zisebenza ngokwenene

Uninzi lwabakwishumi elivisayo luhlala esitratweni kwindawo eqhaqhazelisa amazinyo okanye eyingozi ngenxa yokuba lusoyika ukuba xa lungena kwindawo yolutsha luthetha ukuba luza kufakwa isandla ngamapolisa ngoko nangoko, luvalelwe kwisisele solutsha, okanye lubuyiselwe ezandleni zomzali oxhaphazayo kwisithuba esingangeyure. Ukuqonda imithetho yokwenyani elawula iinkqubo ze- Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) kususa olo loyiko.

1. Usebenza njani uthungelwano lweNdawo eKhuselekileyo yeSizwe (eUnited States)

Indawo ekhuselekileyo (nationalsafeplace.org) luthungelwano lwelizwe lonke olungaphezulu kwe-20,000 yeendawo zoluntu eziphawulwe ngophawu oluqaqambileyo lwedayimani olutyheli-namnyama olufundwayo INDAWO EKHUSELEKILEYO:

  • Zifumaneka phi: Phantse zonke zikamasipala Izikhululo zoMlilo, amaThala eeNcwadi oLuntu, Iibhasi zoThutho zesiXeko, YMCAs, kunye namawakawaka eekhemesti ezingamaqabane, iivenkile eziluncedo (ezifana neQuikTrip), kunye neendawo zokutyela.

Ngemizuzwana, uya kufumana umbhalo ozenzekelayo onedilesi echanekileyo kunye nenombolo yefowuni yeyona ndawo ikufutshane yeNdawo eKhuselekileyo kunye nekhusi lolutsha lwasekuhlaleni, kunye nokhetho lokuthumela umbhalo 2CHAT ukuthumela umyalezo ngqo-on-one kunye nomcebisi oqeqeshiweyo.
  • Kwenzeka ntoni xa ungena: Akunyanzelekanga ukuba uchaze ibali lakho lobomi kumthengisi wevenkile okanye umqhubi webhasi. Thetha nje ngokulula, “Ndifuna uncedo, ndilapha ukuze ndifumane Indawo eKhuselekileyo.” Umsebenzi uya kukuvumela uhlale kwindawo ekhuselekileyo, kwigumbi lekhefu labucala okanye kwigumbi lokuphumla elizicima-mlilo, akunikeze amanzi, uze utsalele umnxeba ikhusi lolutsha lasekuhlaleni elinelayisensi. Umcebisi wolutsha ovavanyiweyo (ingeyiyo imoto yamapolisa, kwiindawo zokupakisha eziqhelekileyo kwindawo ekhuselekileyo) uya kuqhuba ukuya kwindawo phakathi kwemizuzu engama-20 ukuya kwengama-30 ukuze akuzise kwindawo yokuhlala yolutsha.

2. Kwenzeka ntoni xa umntwana ongaphantsi kweminyaka eli-18 engena kwindawo yolutsha? (Umthetho weeyure ezingama-72)

EUnited States, inkxaso-mali ye-Basic Centre Programme (BCP) amaziko olutsha anceda abantwana abangakhatshwayo abaneminyaka eyi-12 ukuya kweli-17. Nantsi into efunwa ngumthetho xa ungena emnyango:

  • AWUBANGWA: Ukungabi nakhaya okanye ukugxothwa endlwini yakho ("ulutsha olulahliweyo / oluvalelwe ngaphandle") alulotyala, kwaye iindawo zokuhlala zolutsha zivuliwe, iindawo zokuhlala ezinolwazi ngomothuko zineebhedi, iishawara, izidlo ezishushu, impahla, nabacebisi, hayi iintolongo.
  • Umgaqo wesaziso sabazali seeyure ezingama-24 ukuya kwezingama-72 KUNYE Nokwahluka koMxhatshazo: Phantsi kwemigaqo yoMthetho weRunaway kunye neHomeless Youth Act (kunye nemithetho yelayisenisi yekhusi likarhulumente), iindawo zokusithela zolutsha zikholisa ukuba 24 ukuya kwiiyure ezingama-72 zokunxibelelana nomzali ongaphantsi kweminyaka, umgcini osemthethweni, okanye iarhente karhulumente yentlalontle yomntwana ukubazisa ukuba umntwana ukhuselekile endlini.
  • UKUBA UBALEKE UKUBA UBALEKILE Ukuxhatshazwa: Xelela umcebisi we-shelter intake inyani ngexesha lokungena kwakho ngasese ukuba ushiye ikhaya kuba umzali, umzali wesibini, okanye umlondolozi ** wayekubetha ngokwasemzimbeni, ekuxhaphaze ngokwesondo, ekurhweba, ekulambiseni, okanye ekukhabela ngaphandle ngenxa yesazisi sakho se-LGBTQ+. Xa uchaza uxhatshazo okanye ubungozi obumandla ekhaya, indawo yolutsha AYISAYI kukubuyisela kumxhaphazi wakho; endaweni yoko, bagcina ngqo igumbi lakho eyimfihlo, bafake ingxelo ekhuselayo kunye Iinkonzo zoKhuseleko lwabantwana (CPS) okanye ummeli wolutsha, kwaye ulungiselele ukubekwa kwabantwana abancinci ngokukhuselekileyo, ukunyamekelwa kobudlelwane kunye nesalamane esikhuselekileyo, okanye izindlu zolutsha zexeshana.

Ukukhusela ngokuchasene nabarhwebi kunye namarhamncwa asesitratweni (Iiyure ezingama-48 zokuQala)

Uphononongo lwesizwe lubonisa ukuba phantse abe-1 kwaba-3 ababalekayo okanye ulutsha olungenamakhaya lufikelwa ngumrhwebi okanye umxhaphazi kwiiyure ezingama-48 emkile ekhaya. Abarhwebi bayazi ukuba umntwana okwishumi elivisayo obandayo, olambileyo, odiniweyo ohleli kwisikhululo sebhasi, kwindawo kaloliwe, kwisidlo sangokuhlwa seeyure ezingama-24, okanye kudederhu lweevenkile nobhaka ogcweleyo usesichengeni.

Imibuzo edla ngokubuzwa

If I walk into a youth shelter or a Safe Place fire station under age 18, will the police arrest me for running away?

No. Being unhoused, kicked out of your house, or seeking refuge at a Safe Place location or a federally funded Basic Center youth shelter will not result in you being handcuffed or put in jail. Safe Place firefighters, librarians, and youth shelter workers are there to keep you safe indoors, feed you, and protect you from street predators; while shelters normally notify parents or child welfare within 24 to 72 hours that you are safe, if you tell the intake worker that you are fleeing physical, sexual, or emotional abuse at home, they will protect you and contact child protective advocates instead of handing you back to an abusive parent.

How does texting "SAFE" to 44357 work if I have nowhere to go right now?

In the United States, if you text the word SAFE followed by your current street address, intersection, or city and state to 44357 (Txt 4 HELP), you will receive an instant automated text back with the exact street address of the nearest designated Safe Place site (such as a fire station, library, transit bus, or partner convenience store) within walking distance, and you can reply 2CHAT to text live with a youth crisis counselor who can arrange a free pickup ride to the nearest youth shelter.

Can I still go to my high school if I got kicked out of my house and am sleeping on a friend's couch or in a car?

Yes, 100 percent. Under the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act in the United States, any student who is not living with a parent or guardian and lacks a fixed, adequate nighttime residence (including couch-surfing at a friend's house, staying in a motel, shelter, or car) has the legal right to stay in their current school, receive free daily transportation to and from school, get automatic free school breakfast and lunch, and enroll or participate in school without needing a parent's signature. Go to the school office and ask to speak privately with your school's "McKinney-Vento Liaison."

Why should I go to a Youth Shelter (ages 12 to 24) instead of a regular adult homeless shelter?

General adult congregate shelters are designed for older adults and can be overwhelming or unsafe for teenagers and young adults ages 18 to 24. Youth-specific shelters and Transition-Age Youth (TAY) drop-in centers only admit young people in your peer age bracket (typically 12 to 17 in minor shelters, and 18 to 24 in young adult shelters), offer trauma-informed counselors, help you finish high school or college, and connect you with youth-specific apartment vouchers and host homes.

Can I apply for college financial aid (FAFSA) if my parents kicked me out and refuse to give me their tax information?

Yes. Under federal higher education law, if you are an unaccompanied youth under age 24 who is homeless or self-supporting and at risk of homelessness, you qualify as an Independent Student on the FAFSA. Your high school McKinney-Vento Liaison, a youth shelter director, or your college financial aid officer can verify your status so you do not need any parent tax returns or signatures, allowing you to qualify for the maximum Pell Grant and year-round campus dorm housing.

How can I get food stamps (SNAP/EBT) or see a doctor if I am 16 or 17 and on my own?

In the United States, there is no minimum age rule prohibiting an unaccompanied minor who lives apart from their parents from applying for SNAP (EBT food stamps) on their own, and youth drop-in center caseworkers can help you apply for 7-day Expedited SNAP using the center's mailing address. For medical care, hospital emergency rooms must treat you regardless of age or parental consent, and most states allow unaccompanied minors ages 14 to 17 to consent on their own to confidential STI/HIV care, birth control, mental health counseling, and routine clinic care at Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).
