Naomi's Story

Naomi was 16 when the case was filed. She has been in DHS custody since November 2018 when she threatened suicide. DHS was unable to find a suitable placement, so she was placed in Jackson Street homeless youth shelter and then in Youth Inspiration Program, a slightly refurbished delinquency facility. She is now back at the Jackson Street homeless shelter, for the seventh time, after being removed from Youth Inspiration Program, and DHS has no other plan for her.
