Montgomery County Youth Center/Shelter

The Montgomery County Youth Center is a 48-bed co-ed residential facility where 10- to 18-year-old juveniles reside while they are awaiting juvenile court hearings. The Youth Center operates two separate and independent programs:

• A 12-bed shelter that houses juveniles for minor delinquent offenses and dependency issues, such as runaway, truant, or ungovernable behavior

• 36-bed secure detention unit that houses juveniles alleged to have committed a delinquent act
