"Graybills", your concerns regarding Ryan's House For Youth (RHFY) are understandable, but wrong. Rather than respond to each of your stated concerns, I'll say that homelessness among our youth is a serious & growing problem. Homelessness in this group is nearly invisible to the unconcious, unaffected citizen.

You know about RHFY's mission and state your unfounded fears  well. Tell me this: where else on Whidbey Island do you see another "agency" even attempting to serve these youth with full time staff, trained volunteers, availability of shelter, clothing, food, case workers, mentoring, and unconditional love? It does not exist.

 That is why RHFY exists, and why it deserves as much support from individuals, grants and other agencies as can be found. Our kids deserve it.
Come apply as a volunteer! If you clear a background check and receive training on procedures/rules, self-awareness, de-escalation, you can become part of the solution. Anyone can be a critic, and wrong, ie(Sheriff)
