Wrenn House
Wrenn House is the only homeless/runaway/crisis intervention program and shelter for youth in the Triangle. Wrenn House provides a safe, legal, and responsible environment for youth who run away from home, who are homeless, or are otherwise in a crisis situation. We are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Wrenn House is available to any youth age 10 – 17, with priority given to youth from Wake County and Raleigh. For 28 years, Wrenn House has served those experiencing crisis by providing a diverse range of services including: temporary shelter, counseling, case management, referrals, mentoring, and a variety of life skills, all within a therapeutic and safe environment that promotes individuality and empowers youth and families. Our program provides a safe haven to youth where they can find the freedom to realize their full potential, which is often minimized when involved in systems over which they usually have no control. Wrenn House works closely with Project Safe Place to coordinate convenient and accessible locations in communities where young people in need can find immediate help.
Young people come to Wrenn House voluntarily. The length of time varies from 1 day to 21 days. Young people staying at Wrenn house are expected to attend school. Transportation is provided.
