Confidence: Research — sourced from agency websites. A dedicated youth-specific drop-in
center was not confirmed as of August 2026. HYC's 13–21 age range and its school-enrollment
requirement were last verified against hycaz.org on 2026-08-24 and were not re-checked on 2026-11-08; the requirement is easy to miss and
is the most common reason a youth referral bounces.
