The Periscope Program provides housing and supportive services to young adults ages 18-24 who have experience within Hennepin County systems.
The Periscope Program, The Link’s County Involved Youth program, serves young adults between the ages of 18-24 in Hennepin County who have been referred by Hennepin County social workers, probation officers, other community partners, or self-referred.
