Reply to comment by Animanialmanac in In desperate need of a solution for shelter for a 15 year old just for tonight by ahbagelxo

This is the option we are going with in the end. I was hoping to do one that didn't cost so much money but I'm also more than willing to spend the money so that he's out of the rain tonight. I appreciate you sharing your experience and I extra appreciate that you two have looked out for kids in this way ♥️

Our old community association had an agreement with the Motel 6 near me for cheaper rooms. We had a special code word to get rooms for $55 for emergency shelter for the night. If you know the community group near you they may have something similar for local hotels. The city doesn’t do a good job taking care of teens and young adults, I wish there were more options. 15 is too old for the children and women’s shelter and too young for the men’s shelter. It’s the right age to get into trouble on the streets, Im glad the boy has you to help him.
