Helping Youth 24/7/365

Jackson Street Youth Services offers youth a safe place to live and resources to work through crises and towards a brighter, more stable future. Founded to fill a gap in housing for homeless youth, we now serve youth throughout Linn, Benton, and Lincoln Counties. We rely on donations and partnerships. Together, we will end youth homelessness.

We’re excited to be upgrading our space!

With our renovations completed and the Albany youth shelter running at expanded capacity, we’re currently hard at work bringing much-needed improvements to our Corvallis house.

21 years ago, we opened our first 24/7/365 youth homeless shelter at 555 Jackson Avenue, and we’re so proud that we are now able to provide a significantly remodeled shelter to our Corvallis-area youth. This is only possible because of the generous support of our community, so, thank you.

The new space will have expanded capacity, remodeled interiors, new floors, brand-new furnishings, a rec room/home theater space, and much more. Our team is hard at work and we’re on target for an early 2023 date for re-opening the Corvallis shelter.

In the meantime, we are still providing housing through our Albany house and Next Steps residences, and our outreach team is still hard at work bringing services to young folks in our community.

Donate now to support our 24/7/365 shelter renovation

We are so grateful to have remained open and serving youth throughout these many challenging months. Our ongoing priority is the safety of our community’s most vulnerable youth. All staff at Jackson Street are now vaccinated. To protect the youth who may not be able to be vaccinated, we are continuing Covid safety protocols around the youth including limiting visitors and drop-off locations for donations. Visit program pages for more details.
