Emergency Shelter

CJS operates a basic center emergency shelter known as the Western Arkansas Youth Shelter (WAYS), in Cecil, Arkansas. The service is available on a 24-hour basis for up to 60 days for youth who are at risk of becoming involved in the juvenile court system, for delinquent youth, or for runaway or homeless youth. Together with the WAYS staff, the CJS Caseworker works with the youth and family to resolve the existing problems in order to achieve reunification of the family. Services are provided to runaway and homeless youth through Federal funds received from the Administration for Children and Families, Family and Youth Services Bureau.
