A Youth Homelessness Re-Entry VISTA
 
 
 
The Colorado Division of Youth Services (DYS) serves youth ages 12 to 21 who are either detained or committed. Following commitment, youth serve a term of parole at which time the teams are working to provide services and resources and ensure a sustainable plan is in place to support long term success. Areas of focus will include housing, resources, inter-agency coordination, training and transition planning. This position will support the central office and multi-disciplinary teams regarding re-entry of these youth as they return to their communities. The VISTA will work specifically with the Client Services Coordinator as well as the DYS transition task force and regional offices to put processes in place to ensure adequate resources and housing options. VISTA will also support collaboration with other state agencies as well as community providers to ensure continuity of care and effective service provision for youth and families.
