Huck House
is a home
we all can own.
If you want to assess the quality of life
in a community, just look at the kids.
Ideally, every child should have love,
support, encouragement, and the oppor-
tunities and resources they need to
succeed. But at a bare minimum,
children must be kept safe from abuse
or neglect. They must have food to eat
and clothes to wear.

For 40 years, Huckleberry House has been the primary provider of shelter and
services to runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth in Franklin County. Through crisis
intervention services, family and individual counseling, and independent living
skills training, we make sure every teen has a safe home environment.
While it’s teens who come to our shelter and who we visit in homes and on the
streets, Huck House’s impact extends far beyond the young people and families
we serve.
Every day, Huck House makes a difference in classrooms across Franklin County,
as more and more youth make the choice to stay in school and focus on their
educational goals. Businesses downtown and elsewhere improve their image and
ability to serve customers as youth are directed away from street corners and
toward more positive ways to spend their time. And communities become safer,
more secure places to call home, as families learn strategies for working out their
problems and kids stay at home instead of taking to the streets.
In one way or another, Huck House contributes to a better a way of life for every
individual, school, business, and organization in Franklin County.
And when we all give a little something back to Huck House, we can help make
Franklin County an ideal place for our kids to live, grow, and excel.
We hope you’ll take the opportunity to read this report. To learn more about the
important services Huck House provides. And to see how our organization has
impacted teens, families, schools, police officers, business owners, and so many
others in 2010.
We hope you’ll
take this
opportunity
to make
Huck House
your house, too,
by adding your
support.

The Crisis Program at Huckleberry House is a 24/7 program that provides a
temporary safe place for teens aged 12-17 when they are without a home or
when they are struggling with a disruptive or difficult home situation. The
program provides a safe alternative to the streets and meets kids’ basic needs
for food, shelter, clothing, and personal hygiene during a period of crisis; but
its ultimate goal is family reunification.
Through a strong emphasis on one-on-one, group, and family counseling, Crisis
Counselors help parents and teens address and resolve problems. With the counselors’
help, teens explore relationship issues including communication, trust,
respect, independence, friends, and school. Teens learn and practice new communication,
coping, and problem solving skills, and families connect with other
resources, such as the Huck House Family Support Program, that can assist them
on an ongoing basis. The goal is for the kids in the program to safely return home
and enjoy healthier, more positive interactions with their families.

“The Crisis Program is more than an emergency shelter for
kids. We give kids a safe place to stay for a few days, but we
ultimately work toward family reunification. Our Crisis
Counselors have the unique ability to step into the shoes of
teens and parents and understand their issues. We like being
around teens and we know how to engage them. And at the
same time, we get parents involved because that so often leads
to a better resolution. We offer a non-judgmental, approachable,
comfortable environment for teens and families to work
on their problems. And we believe that when kids go home,
it’s better for the youth, the family, and the community.”

“I had no idea that Huck House offers all that it does to the
kids! I didn’t realize that you could take a young person there
who was NOT alleging abuse. Families just need to realize that
they DO have somewhere to turn when their kids are acting
out, and kids need to realize the same when they are having
major issues with their parents. Being accessible to families is
the biggest accomplishment, and hopefully the more people
who are educated about Huck House’s services, the more
families that can be rehabilitated.”

When a family member cares and participates in counseling, teens are much
more likely to respond to help and have a positive resolution to a crisis situation.
During fiscal year 2010, our Crisis Counselors renewed their focus on
family engagement. While children are in the program, counselors work with
parents to define family goals. Before a youth returns home, the family is
invited to attend a Special Family Session with the youth. Crisis Counselors
mediate the session, giving teens a chance to practice new skills in a controlled
environment.

helPing Teens live on Their own.
When it isn’t safe or possible for teens to return home, the Transitional Living
Program gives them the support and resources they need to obtain secure living
arrangements of their own. Every year, the 18-month Transitional Living Program
transitions 32 youth, ages 16.5 to 19, from homelessness to independent living.
Most participants in the Transitional Living Program represent the third or fourth
generation of poverty in their families. The program helps break the generational
cycle by helping teens build the independent living skills they need to achieve
success in school and in life. Teens develop skills for coping with their own social,
behavioral, or mental health problems so they can finish their education and
obtain jobs. They learn how to grocery shop, cook, and budget. And, since 70
percent of the youth in the program have children of their own, they learn how to
parent through a parent track that teaches teens how to care for, interact with,
and enjoy their babies.

“If we don’t intervene and teach young people the skills they
need to function independently, the cycle of generational
poverty will continue. Today’s teenagers will become tomorrow’s
adults that rely on public assistance. The Transitional
Living Program focuses on educating teens and teen parents
and giving them the knowledge and resources they need to
support themselves and their own children. It helps take some
of the burden off the system while giving young people a
brighter future.”

“Our church has a long history of helping runaway kids and
troubled teens in our neighborhood. In fact, one of our previous
pastors, Rev. John Wilcox, helped found Huckleberry
House. So when the opportunity arose to rent a church property
to Huck House for the Transitional Living Program, we
jumped at it. The property is a multi-apartment home on 18th
Avenue, and so far, it’s working out very well for the Huck
House program. The church is thrilled to be doing more in the
way of ministry with this property, and our members are very
excited about it, too. Many of them even bring in items for the
young people who live there. We are pleased to have reestablished
our relationship with Huck House, and to be working
with them to provide a valuable service for both the kids and
the community.”

Funding from The Columbus Foundation made it possible for Huckleberry House
to expand the Transitional Living Program’s parenting track in FY2010. Teen
parents can now participate in group counseling sessions, during which teen
mothers discuss issues related to single parenting, coordinating education and
work, and interacting with their child’s other parent.
Huckleberry House also received a grant from United Way, which helped enable
the addition of both a peer-to-peer and caregiver education program to the
parent track. The peer-to-peer program trains young mothers to work with and
mentor other young mothers. Through the caregiver education program, teen
mothers learn how to train others who will help provide care for their child, such
as grandparents, friends, and boyfriends.

Flexibility and accessibility are the keys to the success of the Huckleberry House
Family Support Program. Our counselors and case managers work with families
dealing with crisis, trauma, substance abuse, identity confusion, immigration and
assimilation problems, and a wide range of other challenges. We work with teens
and families referred to us by the Huckleberry House Crisis Program, schools and
guidance counselors, and hospitals. We also meet the needs of families and teens
who call us directly for assistance.
We offer family and individual counseling at our Counseling Center. Our counselors
also offer Home-Based Intervention to families who do not have the resources
or availability to come to Huckleberry House, and our case managers provide crisis
intervention services at homes or at schools. Whether we work with families and
individuals here at Huckleberry House or in their homes or schools, our goal is to
help families identify strengths they can use to resolve problems, develop coping
skills, and make long-term changes that lead to a more stable home life.

“The beauty of family therapy is that you intervene with the
family as a unit. The parents might come to you because a child
is punching holes in the wall. But when you work with the
whole family, you discover the bigger underlying issues—and
you work to resolve them. When we make a positive impact on
a family’s life, there’s a domino effect, things improve at school
and word gets around the neighborhood. Very often, people
in the same schools and neighborhoods face the same issues.
And when they hear about Huck House, it leads more kids and
families to our door, and we start to make a bigger difference in
the communities we serve.”

“My son and daughter have worked with Huck House, my son
for three years now. And they are way better than other agencies.
They’re more involved with my son and me. And they’ve
made a big difference in how we talk to each other. He knows
what I expect and I listen to what he has to say. There was also
one time when we raised money to help another Huck House
family for Christmas. Jason [Coale, Team Leader, Family Support
Program] picked out the family and told us what kinds
of things they would like. My kids earned the money and we
bought gifts and food. We really enjoyed that, and it taught the
kids something important.”

Fy2010: new aPProaChes.
In FY2010, the Family Support Program offered a number of new group programs,
including anger management groups and a relationship negotiation group. Counselors
also adopted new cutting edge therapeutic approaches to better connect
with families and teens who may be resistant to counseling or who are dealing
with crisis.
Through a new client-centric approach called motivation interviewing, counselors
determine what the teen or family wants to change most. The counselors then
model treatment around those issues, which can help motivate and improve
participation in therapy. Family support counselors also use Trauma Focused
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy—TFCBT—and work closely with Crisis Counselors to
better support teens and families dealing with crisis situations and transitioning
from inpatient programs.

Taking helP To kids in need.
Many teens in trouble don’t ask for help because they don’t know it exists or because
they are simply too proud or too distrusting. The Youth Outreach Program
overcomes these obstacles by taking Huckleberry House services directly to youth
in need. As the authorities on at-risk youth ages 12-22, our Youth Outreach workers
understand that it takes patience, persistence, and creativity to engage kids
and that one-size-fits-all solutions simply don’t work.
Youth Outreach workers visit schools, community centers and playgrounds, shopping
centers, the streets, and anywhere else youth hang out. They invest the
time to talk to kids and understand their individual problems, whether its family
issues, trouble in school, finding a job, or finding housing. They help each youth
develop skills to make good life choices. And they point kids toward resources
that meet their unique needs, such as the programs available at Huckleberry
House. The program’s main goal is to find and work with at-risk teens before they
run away or find themselves in crisis situations.
The efforts of the Youth Outreach Program have helped to increase the number
of young people turning to Huckleberry House for help over the past few years.
The program is also instrumental in raising awareness of youth issues and Huck
House services among parents, educators, downtown businesses, and community
police forces.

“With the economy the way it is, we’re seeing more and more
homeless teenagers. These kids are distrustful of the system
and too proud to ask for help. And they go unnoticed because
they find ways to make it through the day. We’re the only
agency that goes where these kids are. We find creative ways
to engage them and we realize it takes time and persistence to
get them comfortable enough to respond. But by making the
effort to reach these kids, we can empower them to find jobs,
stay in school, or find housing. And we start to make positive
changes in their lives.”

“Capital Crossroads reached out to Huck House and other
organizations last summer to help us brainstorm solutions for
engaging the large number of youth hanging out downtown on
the south end of High Street. Huck House really stepped up
to the plate. They came down to interview the youth and talk
with the shop owners, and they provided suggestions for how
to redirect these youth toward more positive behaviors. Huck
House is definitely the go-to organization when it comes to
understanding youth and their needs.”

Youth Outreach workers presented engagement strategies to teachers and administrators

develop workable strategies for engaging youth in the area.
“It was rough in the Hilltop area when we first came here. But
I’ve been here for 15 years, and the kids have seen the consistency
of us being here, and being a safe haven where they can
come and talk about their problems. When we start to build a
relationship with a teen, and we begin to understand a teen’s
situation, we can then coordinate with Jerome [DeCarlo, Youth
Outreach Specialist] and Huck House to help positively impact
these kids. Huck House is a really powerful resource for us, because
what they do comes from the heart. And you can see that
heart in how effective they are with the kids.”

The Community Education Program works to spread awareness about runaway,
homeless, and at-risk youth. Often working hand in hand with the Youth Outreach
Program, the Community Education team sponsors a wide range of community
and teen events each year, including the annual Green Light Project, which
promotes runaway prevention, and the annual Turn Around Columbus Awards
Banquet to recognize youth who have overcome obstacles. The team also makes
in-school presentations on a wide range of issues ranging from whole family
dynamics, decision making, bullying, positive peer pressure, and celebrating differences
and individuality.
The Youth Advisory Board is an important part of Community Education initiatives.
Made up of 15 youth from high schools and middle schools throughout
Franklin County, the Advisory Board provides Huck House with important insight
into teen problems, takes our messages back to the schools, and helps guide the
direction of Community Education programs. Community Education team members
also work with other community organizations to address and combat issues
such as violence and creating safer communities.

“By speaking to more teens, parents, schools, and businesses,
we’re debunking the myth that family problems only happen to
‘those’ families. The truth is, family problems don’t discriminate
and any family from any zip code can have a problem
with communication. And when kids don’t know how to communicate
with adults, it can lead to bigger problems. Through
Community Education, we’re teaching that there are things
every family, every parent, and every teacher can do to better
engage youth. And we’re working to build healthier teens and

Changing The way kids Think.
Over the past year, the Community Education team emphasized the importance
for teens to change their mindset and adopt a more positive way of thinking
about themselves and their futures. Huck House partnered with 15 other youth
agencies to host the Flip the Script Rebel youth summit at COSI in June. More
than 167 youth attended and had the chance to participate in town hall forum
discussions and individual workshops in four different areas: arts, social activism,
entrepreneurship, and empowerment. The summit empowered youth to resist
conforming to the status quo and to become leaders among their peers. Flip the
Script was such as success that Huckleberry House plans to help expand the
event next year.
For the 2010 Green Light Project, the Community Education team focused on
one zip code: 43219, the Brentnell community. Children’s author Sy Alexander
spoke at a kick off event at Brentnell Education Center, where 75 teens gathered
to learn more about Huck House, the Green Light Project, and to learn the Green
Light line dance. Volunteers helped Huck House go door to door in the community,
passing out thousands of green lights. We succeed in painting the neighborhood
green and making a powerful statement about the importance of runaway
prevention and caring for at-risk teens in the community.

“Having a Huck House scholarship helps students attend
school who otherwise might not have been able to. It encourages
students to keep moving forward in life when they know
they are the recipients of scholarships and that their hard work
has been noticed. The Huck House scholarship program also
helps achieve Governor Strickland’s initiative to ensure Ohio’s
future prosperity by creating a world-class education system.
The students of today are the leaders of tomorrow. Financial
assistance helps students to stay in college and hopefully stay in

youth and a college education is financing. Every year, Huckleberry House administers
up to $7,500 in scholarship funds to support the youth in our programs
and help them achieve their educational goals.

In 2000, Bill McNamara established a scholarship fund to provide two scholarships
per year to teens participating in Huck House programs. Scholarship
winners can renew their scholarships each year. The financial support makes it
possible for teens to reach the educational goals they set in our programs.

Established in 2008 by the Soltis family, long time contributors to Huckleberry

toward future accomplishments.
2010 soltis/homer scholarship recipients:
• Judith Vanae Garrison

“For some young women, it’s impossible to even think about going
to college without financial assistance. Scholarships can give
people a chance and the push they need to achieve their goals. But
many times with young people, finding someone who cares about
them and who is willing to help them is even more important than
the money. Being recognized as a person can make all the difference
for these young people. And community members can give
support in so many different ways.”
