To further our emphasis on addressing youth homelessness, we are pleased to support a new safe haven specifically for homeless youth ages 18-24. This effort adds five critically-needed emergency shelter beds for less than the cost of one government-subsidized hotel room. And, the beds were able to come online within months, as opposed to years or even decades that are required to add housing. 

While five beds may not sound like a lot, they are a much-needed addition to help more youth move off the streets. 

We hope you can find the time to watch this 3-minute video to learn more.
