Providing pathways to end youth homelessness.

There’s no one-size fits all definition of young people experiencing homelessness. When they arrive at our doors, they are in need of a supportive community that can guide them on a path to a successful future.

If you are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless and between the ages of 16-23*, we are here for you! Our Drop-In Center is open Monday-Friday from 2-7 p.m. or by appointment.
