Abstract
Data on street youth housed in a shelter in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, was analyzed to determine whether the safe house serves the needs of homeless children and to compare the findings with those of a previous survey. Information analyzed was obtained from questionnaires filled out by the street children who stayed at the Calgary home. Analyses showed that the house successfully meets the immediate needs of the runaway children. Moreover, more youth in the present survey underscored the importance of providing counselling services than in the past survey.
