Family Services Agency unveils new addition to Daybreak home Thursday

YOUNGSTOWN — Daybreak Youth and Crisis Shelter, a program of Family Service Agency, will have invitation-only open house Thursday to celebrate the unveiling of its new two-story addition on Homestead Avenue.

The new wing provides space for indoor recreation, offices and a new dining area. The addition allows Daybreak staff to increase its capacity to offer families counseling services, while at the same time increasing staff supervision of children, said David Arnold, Family Service executive director.

Daybreak is a community-based, 10-bed shelter providing comprehensive emergency shelter and crisis counseling services to abused, neglected, runaway, and otherwise homeless youth from 11 to 18 years of age.

Family Service Agency, 535 Marmion Ave., is a nonprofit, multiservice, mental-health agency.
