Through our shelter, we provide a safe and accessible living environment for youth aged 16-24 who have complex needs and are experiencing homelessness. We address the many issues and causes of homelessness by offering programming that help youth stay healthy while accessing jobs, permanent housing, clothing, nutritious meals and other necessary supplies that will assist them as they transition to a successful future.
