FOR YOUNG 
PEOPLE

If you’re between 12-24 and going through homelessness or housing instability, you’re welcome here. Services are open to youth starting at age 12, up until the day you turn 25. You don’t need a referral, ID, or proof of anything — just show up. We’ve got you.

Have pets or kids? We’ve got all of you. Both your pets and kids are also welcome here. We know how important they are. We’ll do our best to help you keep your pet safe and cared for while you’re here. Young parents and families are part of our community too. You can bring your child(ren) with you, and we’ll make sure you both feel safe and supported. 

We’re a drop-in resource center, not a shelter — so you can come during the day to get meals, showers, supplies, rest, and support, but we don’t have beds for overnight stays. 

What we can do is help you connect to shelters and housing programs if you’re looking for a place to stay. We want to be real with you though, we can’t guarantee that there will be bed available on any given night. There are more young people looking for housing than there are available beds. But please know, you don’t have to figure it out alone — we’ll walk through it with you.

You can get things like meals, showers, clothes, hygiene supplies, and a safe space to chill. We also have case managers, health services, creative and life skills workshops, job and school help, and people who can support you with housing stuff. You can choose what you want to do — no pressure, no judgment.

It’s also totally fine if you just want a place to chill and not talk about your situation. You can come here just to hang out, rest, charge your phone, use Wi-Fi, or grab a meal. No one will push you to talk about anything you don’t want to. You control your own time here.

Nope! You can just walk in during our open hours. If you ever want to meet one-on-one with a staff member, we can set that up when you’re here.

We work really hard to make this a safe and respectful place. Everyone here — young people, staff, and volunteers — is treated with care and dignity. We don’t put up with hate, harassment, or violence. You’ll be welcomed by people who actually get what you’re going through.

Feeling nervous? That’s okay. A lot of young people feel that way at first. You can come by just to look around or talk to someone. We’ll walk with you at your pace. You’re not alone — the space, resources, and opportunities are here for you when you’re ready.

Nope. Everything here is free — food, showers, services, everything. You don’t have to pay or owe anyone anything.

Yes! We’ve got folks who can help with resumes, job searches, interview practice, GED prep, enrolling in school, or figuring out what’s next. Whether you’re ready to dive in or just thinking about it, we can support you.

You heard right, but it's a little more complicated. In 2023, we launched a new pilot that we named TAYA (Transition Age Young Adults). TAYA is meant for 25-30 year olds to make sure that they don't fall through the cracks as they transition from TAY to the Adult System of care. Right now, while we are building the program, we can only serve 25+ year olds that were already known to us and working in case management before turning 25.

Yes, absolutely. One of the first things we will offer is support to help you get all the documents you need to be housing, job, and school ready.

You don't have to talk about anything you don't want to and can go at your own pace.
