________________________________

In your own words, how can the City address these needs?

By listening to teens who are in these spaces more directly. Also, extend the date of closing the old firehouse teen center so people have more time, if the building is safe for occupancy and only has long-term issues, there's no reason the "relocation" couldn't take more time. Give a set space, away from adults/not in a shared space where adults can roam around, in reasonable distance to where the ofh teen center is located, and is accessible with no costs and open consistently (atleast 3 times a week or, preferably, more). 

________________________________

Is there anything else you would like to share with us about City teen services or programming?

Teen services are vital to youth, especially youth that is struggling. If you do not provide an adequate place for teens to exist outside of their home and school, the future of this community will be ruined. Centers like the old firehouse teen center keeps kids off the streets or lets them come out of self isolation and flourish in an accepting environment with heathy and good role models. Without this, you have repressed kids who will drown in mental health issues and may even pick up drugs or other substances because they don't have a place outside of home and school to be themselves and breathe freely without the pressures that come with being a teen
