Emergency & Transitional Housing

A Safe Space for New Beginnings

We understand that a stable home is the first step toward transforming a young person’s life. Our Emergency & Transitional Housing program provides safe, temporary shelter and essential resources to help youth and young families regain their footing and rebuild a brighter future.

The Importance of Emergency & Transitional Housing

Emergency & Transitional Housing offers a safe and supportive environment for youth in crisis. Through this program, we provide more than just a place to sleep—we help young people recover from trauma, access vital services, and prepare for long-term success. Our goal is to give them the stability needed to focus on education, employment, and family reunification.

Who We Serve

We focus on supporting youth who are in immediate need of housing due to homelessness, family instability, or crisis. Our services are specifically designed to support:

  • Justice-Involved Youth: Youth who have been involved in the justice system and are seeking a fresh start in a safe environment.
  • Pregnant/Parenting Adolescents: Young mothers and fathers who need housing and resources to care for their children and plan for a stable future.
  • Homeless and At-Risk Youth: Youth experiencing homelessness or living in unstable conditions who need a safe place to live and begin rebuilding their lives.
  • Young Adults (Ages 16-24): Youth who are at a critical age where stability can mean the difference between thriving and continued hardship.

Through our program, participants receive more than just housing; we work to provide holistic support that addresses each individual’s unique needs and challenges.

Why is Emergency & Transitional Housing Important?

Emergency & Transitional Housing offers youth a critical lifeline, helping them escape dangerous or unstable living conditions. This stable foundation allows them to focus on their goals, whether it’s finishing school, gaining employment, or developing life skills.

How Does Emergency & Transitional Housing Help Youth?

The program helps youth transition from crisis to stability by providing immediate shelter, support services, and access to long-term resources. With professional case management and a safe environment, participants can work toward independence, self-sufficiency, and personal growth.

Our Approach

We provide a comprehensive, individualized approach to help youth transition successfully into stable housing.

  • Immediate Housing Placement: Providing quick and safe placement in emergency shelters to prevent homelessness.
  • Personalized Case Management: Each participant is assigned a dedicated case manager who helps create a customized plan for housing stability and personal growth.
  • Life Skills and Job Readiness Programs: Workshops and training to teach essential life skills, such as budgeting, cooking, and resume building.
  • Mentorship and Emotional Support: Ongoing mentoring and counseling to help participants navigate challenges and build resilience.
  • Connection to Education and Employment Resources: Facilitating access to job training, educational programs, and employment opportunities to ensure long-term success.
