About VCRHYP
Established in 1981, VCRHYP is a coalition of service providers working together to guarantee the existence of a statewide safety net for runaway and homeless youth. VCRHYP is a national service delivery model that ensures access to services for youth throughout the entire state rather than just those in a small number of towns, cities, or locales.
Our Coalition Commitment:
Our goal is to ensure that youth have access to the support services they need to be safe and stable. To accomplish this, the Coalition works to:
- Ensure continued funding for crucial youth services in an uncertain economic climate
- Collaborate with state and local partners to align and inform services
- Advocate for youth needs with State and Federal policy makers
- Foster a learning community among member agencies to develop and disseminate best practices for youth-care work
- Educate our communities about the issues at-risk youth face
- Create opportunities for youth voices to be heard
