Thanks for reaching out, Edith. There is an organization in Cincinnati called Lighthouse Youth and Family Services that offers services similar to Huck House. Below is the link to their website so that you can learn more. I am sure that even if their services don't match your needs, that they would be able to point you in the right direction if you reach out to them. Best of luck. https://www.lys.org/services/

Yes

Depends on your age, but generally yes

That is a question to talk to staff about. There is a phone for you to utilize while here.

I'm neighbors and friends with the organization. One, if a joke, doesn't help.... Two, they get meals and snacks. So, question your friend. They may not always have to eat what she wants.... tough, grow up, work, go to school, and buy her own meals. And your the worst. These people help where no one else will. If it's such a concern, YOU buy her food, take her in, provide resources to better herself. Please, really.

About a hr depends on if its your first ine or not the first time could take up to three hrs

Just take them up there but call first to make sure they have a bed for them then you have to go and do paper work and tell them like wyy
