'You begin early and you prepare people or give them the tools that they need so that that doesn't become an issue in their lives.' 'This is one of the ways you attack homelessness,' said Eastman.

These include case management, life skills training, financial literacy, nutrition and meal preparation, grocery shopping, resume building, job skill development, social interaction and medical and mental health support. The bureau will also provide a list of services. 'For some youth, I think it truly is the difference between success and the total lack of success and perhaps the life on the streets or not achieving what they're capable of.' 'I think it can make a huge difference,' said Maura Eastman, Director of the Youth Service Bureau. The Youth Service Bureau launched the campaign to get funding for an apartment complex that will house 18 to 21 year olds in the foster care system. All of these proceeds will go to the Solid Ground campaign. 'We know we're helping out a lot of young individuals become successful adults in our community and it means a lot to me, it makes me feel good deep inside that we've helped so many individuals with the money we can give,' said John McGinnis, General Manager of Bear River Casino. 27 teams went head to head, playing to win for a cause. Friday was the 9t h annual Bear River Casino Charity Golf Tournament held at the Redwood Empire Golf Course in Fortuna.
