Tahoe Youth & Family Services received two grants from the Administration for Children and Families to support expanding services in Alpine County.

In October, TYFS began offering a 24-hour crisis line, shelter through host homes, counseling and case management services and outreach to Alpine County residents.

These grants allow TYFS to expand its program of supportive services for homeless, transient and high risk youth and their families that already exist in South Lake Tahoe and Douglas County to Alpine County.

TYFS is partnering with the Woodfords Indian Education Center, Alpine Women’s Center, Alpine County Probation Department, Koinonia, Alpine County Behavioral Health Department, Alpine County School District and the Child Abuse Prevention Council as we develop and implement these programs.
