Bail assistance line

What is the bail assistance line?

We all make mistakes - it's a part of growing up. Sometimes those mistakes are a little more serious, and you need a reliable parent or family member to bail them out.  But if a reliable adult isn’t available, a young person can end up with nowhere else to go and be placed in juvenile detention. 

The bail assistance line is an alternative accommodation model that supports first time offenders to avoid this. A young person may need to be placed at short notice, and will need a safe and supportive place to stay for up to 28 days.



It is truly wonderful and heartwarming to provide foster care and support for these two young boys, showing them love, stability, and guidance during this crucial time in their lives.
