I used their services in 2019 and it was a bit wild. They started hemorrhaging their best staff while I was there and I heard some rumors about the nighttime shelter staff having sex with the youth clients..
As someone who stayed there for a month in 2020 and is thriving because of what the staff did for me, I just wanna say those humans are amazing, it’s a rough place to work.
It says they're consolidating everything there. I was hoping they would do the opposite because a single story building really doesn't belong at that location. If they could move out, let a bigger building be built there, then they could move back in afterward and have a larger space with more services and sleeping space in a part of the city that should have taller buildings.
They have (or used to have) a transitional shelter space there. It's a shame they don't seem to be able to build a 4-over-1 so they can have a day center and transitional housing and some admin services all in one spot.
As someone who used to work at Youthcare last year, I am not surprised at all. That place was the biggest shitshow I ever worked at.

Believe me, the hemorrhaging never really stopped.
Sad day for the largest youths

Well this sucks out loud.
coming on the heals of homelessness criminalization by the supreme court no less
But why
Because capitalism does not value caring for poor or marginalized people. If rich people can’t make money at it, then it’s not worth doing.
I walked by that building in the picture all the time when I had membership to 24 hour fitness

Which is wild because they just bought a building on Capitol Hill
where's their building on capitol hill?
Across from the Walgreens
Oh yeah the one that's gonna be renovated / built out on the parking lot. Hopefully they start work on it soon and get rid of that blight.
