Program Overview
TXT 4 HELP: Text “SAFE” and your current location to 44357 for the nearest Safe Place site or call 1-800-422-TEEN (8336).
Safe Place is a program that quickly connects runaway and homeless youth ages 12-17 to services, either by reuniting them with their family or providing them with emergency shelter. The program is run by YouthCare and Friends of Youth in partnership with local businesses and non-profit organizations that have volunteered to be “Safe Places” across King County.

- Safe Place maintains a 24-hour hotline, 1-800 422 TEEN (8336), where youth can directly connect with Safe Place staff.
- Within forty-five minutes, a Safe Place coordinator meets with the youth, assesses the situation, and works with the youth to place them at a shelter or reunite with parents/guardians.
- Families can be complicated. Safe Place intervenes during a crisis and provides a safe respite for youth and families in need of immediate support.
In King County, metro buses, local businesses, and non-profit organizations have volunteered to be “Safe Places”—locations where youth can go and request assistance. Staff members at these locations are trained to respond to youth in need and immediately contact Safe Place. There are currently over 2,100 Safe Place sites in King County.
Safe Place works closely with existing emergency youth shelters through Nexus Youth and Families, Friends of Youth, YouthCare and Cocoon House.
