While all vulnerable populations should have access to adequate housing it is especially important that unaccompanied homeless youth have access to a variety of service-rich, youth-focused housing options.

Loving Arms

Baltimore City’s only emergency shelter for youth under 18, with a capacity of just eight beds. Because Loving Arms is considered a “Basic Center” and is funded by the federal government, the shelter may only provide a limited 21-day stay. In addition to its emergency shelter services, Loving Arms also works to reunify youth with their families using mediation and counseling.
