Supporting the goals and ideals of ‘‘National Safe Place

Whereas the youth of the United States will determine the 
future strength of the Nation and be the bearers of our 
democracy; 
Whereas youth need a safe haven from various negative influ-
ences, such as child abuse, substance abuse, depression, 
and crime, and youth need readily available resources to 
assist them when faced with circumstances that com-
promise their safety; 
Whereas the Safe Place program is committed to protecting 
the youth of the United States by offering short-term 
housing at neighborhood locations where trained volun-
teers are available to counsel and advise young people

Whereas, designated as locations where youth can get infor-
mation and immediate care, Safe Place is found at busi-
nesses, such as restaurants, convenience stores, movie 
theaters, and community buildings such as fire stations, 
libraries, and community centers; 
Whereas the success of Safe Place is based on collaborations 
between businesses, school systems, fire departments, law 
enforcement, and a network of volunteers; 
Whereas the United States needs increased numbers of com-
munity volunteers serving as mentors and positive influ-
ences on young people; 
Whereas the Safe Place program must meet performance 
standards relative to outreach and community relations 
to receive direct Federal assistance as set forth in the 
Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (42 U.S.C. 5701 et 
seq.); 
Whereas more than 1,500 communities in 40 States admin-
ister the Safe Place program at over 20,000 locations; 
Whereas more than 255,000 youth were helped by going to 
a Safe Place location or received counseling by phone as 
a result of Safe Place information received at school; 
Whereas, since 2005, more than 3.5 million youth have been 
reached through National Safe Place’s Building a Safety 
Net for Youth campaign, familiarizing them with the 
Safe Place sign and providing them with information 
about how to seek help in order to stay safe; 
Whereas Safe Place services are needed for youth in every 
community and services are not yet available to youth in 
10 States and the territories; 
Whereas March 18 through 24, 2012, has been designated as
