About Us

Our mission is to empower young women and their children to live healthy, safe and progressive lives.   We strive to do this by providing them with transitional and/or affordable housing, and equipping them with the necessary tools they need to succeed physically, spiritually and emotionally.

​

Our target population is young women from ages 16-24, who struggle with facing homelessness and gaining and maintaining their independence while trying to navigate through life.  Many youth at this age deal with homelessness due to teen pregnancy, domestic violence, aging out of state care, transitions from foster care, financial hardships and even tragic circumstances. Statistics show that youth are more at risk of homelessness than adults. 75% of runaways are females and it's estimated that the number of pregnant homeless girls are between 6% and 22%. These are alarming numbers.  

 

Fall 2018 we acquired our first transitional home for homeless youth girls ages 16-24 where they can stay up to 2 years. Each family will have their own personal bedroom and we will supply them with needed food, shelter, clothing, advocacy and so much more to align with our mission of well-rounded support. We are building an awesome team of dedicated individuals to help with this effort and asking that you join us.
