Abstract

Street children are a social problem that has hit big cities in Indonesia, especially Jakarta. The government has not fully addressed the aspects of developing literacy education for street children, considering the low literacy culture in Indonesian society. Negative impacts arise due to the lack of children's literacy skills, especially among street youth groups who are vulnerable to drug abuse and bad behavior.
 This research aims to overcome this problem through an Operational Study with three stages: problem identification, shelter program development, and shelter intervention implementation. This program involves street teenagers in Jabodetabek who are still returning home, with statistical tests such as chi-square, logistic regression, and t-test. Interventions are carried out through education, counseling services, coaching, mentoring, home visits, skills training, and waste management.
 The analysis results show a significant increase in the average score of adaptive behavior for street teenagers and family resilience related to efforts to prevent drug abuse and other bad behavior after implementing the Healthy Village Development Program (PPDS) Shelter Home for Health Reform Agents for Marginalized Groups. The success of this program can become a model for the development of other shelters by providing additional skills to street children.
