Ukungabi nakhaya kwentsha kanye nendawo yokuhlala ephephile yentsha engaphelezelwa kanye nabantu abadala abasebasha

Izinombolo zezimo eziphuthumayo ziyehluka ngezwe. Leli khasi lisebenzisa u-911, inombolo yase-United States naseCanada. Amanye amazwe amaningi asebenzisa u-112, 999, noma enye inombolo. Thola inombolo yezwe lakini.

Ukuxoshwa ekhaya lakho, ukubalekela udlame lwasekhaya noma izingxabano ezinzima zomndeni, noma ukuguga ngaphandle kokunakekelwa okungekho ndawo yokulala kuyisimo esiphuthumayo sokuphepha empilweni. Izingane ezingaphelezelwa (ezingaphansi kweminyaka engu-18) kanye nabantu abadala abasebasha (abaneminyaka engu-18 kuye kwengama-24) abalele emgwaqeni, eziteshini zokuthutha abantu, noma ezimotweni babhekana nokuchayeka ngokushesha kubashushumbisi babantu, udlame olungokomzimba, isimo sezulu esibi kakhulu, nokulahlekelwa ukufunda.

Uma ungomusha noma umuntu omdala osemusha ongenandawo ephephile yokulala namuhla kusihlwa, akudingeki ulale ngaphandle futhi akudingekile ukuthi ungene endaweni yokukhosela yabantu abadala abangenakhaya. Wonke amazwe amakhulu axhasa ngemali, izindawo zokukhosela eziphuthumayo zentsha kuphela, izikhungo zokungena, kanye namanethiwekhi ezokuthutha ezinhlekelele ikakhulukazi abaneminyaka engu-12 kuya kwengama-24.

Umeluleki wentsha ohloliwe (hhayi imoto yamaphoyisa, emavenini ajwayelekile eNdawo Ephephile) uzoshayela endaweni phakathi kwemizuzu engama-20 kuya kwengama-30 ukuze akulethe endaweni yokukhosela intsha.

2. Kwenzekani lapho ingane engaphansi kweminyaka engu-18 ingena endaweni yokukhosela yentsha? (Umthetho Wamahora angu-72)

E-United States, uxhaso lukahulumeni I-Basic Center Programme (BCP) izindawo zokukhosela zentsha zisiza izingane ezingaphelezelwanga ezineminyaka engu-12 kuya kwengu-17. Nakhu okudingwa umthetho uma ungena emnyango:

Uma ubika ukuhlukunyezwa noma ukufakwa eozini kanzima ekhaya, isikhungo sentsha NGEKE sikubuyisele kumhlukumezi wakho; esikhundleni salokho, bagcina indawo yegumbi lakho ngqo iyimfihlo, bafake umbiko ovikelayo kwa-Child Protective Services (CPS) noma ummeli wentsha, futhi bahlele ukubekwa okuphephile kwezingane okungebona kuzo eziphuthumayo, ukunakekelwa kwezihlobo nesihlobo esiphephile, noma izindlu zesikhashana zentsha.

3. Izinhlobo ezahlukene zezindlu eziqondene nentsha (Iminyaka eyi-12 kuye kwengama-24)

Imibuzo evame ukubuzwa

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).
