No, it's called Janus Youth Programs, in Portland, Oregon. I used to work for them as a Residential Counselor...in one of their shelters.

Here is their website, it barely scratches the surfice of everything that they have available....

Some of them are running away from horrible abuse, etc....some really bad things, you would not believe, well, maybe you would, but some of them really have a good reason to leave.....(rape, etc).

Yes, you and the others here are of the few that care that much, I would imagine....

But this place I worked at, is a non-profit......the Director, Dennis Morrow, started this organization from the ground up because the city needed something to address the ongoing problems with the kids, there was nothing.

People didn't really care that much.
