Two Homeless Assistance Programs

Host Homes

Host Homes provide temporary emergency housing options for youth 14 and older who are currently enrolled in school.

The Host Homes Program provides safe and supportive housing options for the homeless youth living in our community. The program is designed to address the emergency needs of teens by connecting them with understanding volunteers in caring homes.

The McDannel House is an emergency housing option for youth 18-24. Each house can support approximately 8-10 Transitional Age Youth and offers case management, behavioral health services, and community support services.
