ABOUT FYI

• Family Youth Interventions (FYI) was founded in 1975, as the Macomb County Youth Interim Care Facility, a component of Comprehensive Youth Services Inc. (CYS). CYS was originally founded in 1970 by community volunteers with the People’s Free Medical Clinic, then grew to meet the need for additional community services – outpatient counseling, substance abuse treatment, and family planning. In 1975, a student intern, along with the executive director wrote a grant application to provide services for runaway and homeless youth. While the application was an exercise for the student, and approval was not anticipated, the grant was approved. Upon securing the convent of St. Mark’s Catholic Church and support of the City of Warren, FYI opened it’s doors to the first client in Spring, 1976. In 2000, FYI relocated to Mt. Clemens after purchasing and remodeling a four-bedroom home. FYI is licensed as a Child Caring Institution by the Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services. A maximum of six youth can be housed at any one time, for a maximum length of stay of 15 days. In October 2005, FYI expanded its’ services to include a Homeless Youth Program. This program can provide up to 18 months of service to homeless youth 16 through age 20 and their families with the primary focus of helping youth achieve self-sufficiency and remain off the streets. In 2006 FYI expanded again to include a Street Outreach Program, reaching youth on their level. This program works with youth ages 15 to 20 both on the streets and in the drop-in center helping youth move away from at-risk behavior toward becoming successful.
