To address the needs of young night drifters (YNDs) in a more comprehensive manner, the Government has extended the service hours and service focus of 18 Integrated Children and Youth Services Centres for the purpose of providing overnight outreaching service for YNDs on a territory-wide basis from September 2001 onwards.
 
The 18 designated Integrated Children and Youth Services Centres are provided with additional manpower and recurrent as well as non-recurrent funding to purchase 7-seater vans and mobile phones while organising activities for YND to facilitate service delivery in extended service hours.
