About
My Friend’s Place
For 36 years and counting, My Friend’s Place has been assisting and inspiring youth experiencing homelessness to build self-sufficient lives.
From our early beginnings as a volunteer-based group serving meals from the trunks of cars to the dynamic resource center we operate today,
My Friend’s Place offers a comprehensive continuum of services to nearly 1,000 youth experiencing homelessness between the ages of 12 and 25, and their children, each year, helping our young people who are experiencing homelessness to move toward wellness, stability and self-sufficiency.
JEDI Vision

As such, we are resolute in our commitment to uplift all youth experiencing homelessness while rigorously, continuously, and concretely aligning our trauma-informed service delivery and organizational framework with guiding principles of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.
