A partnership between Greyhound Lines, Inc. and the National Runaway Safeline, the HOME FREE Program provides crisis intervention with the goal of reuniting runaway youth ages 12-20 years old with their parent/legal guardian. Youth up to age 18 must be returning to a parent or legal guardian. Youth 18-20 may return to either family, or a transitional living program. NRS recognizes, though, that supportive living environments exist for youth outside of the nuclear family. Therefore, in situations where the parent or legal guardian reunification cannot happen, youth may be provided with a bus ticket to an alternative living arrangement (ALA). In order to receive a bus ticket to an ALA, legal guardians must give approval and be involved in every step of the Home Free process.
