About Us

Our vision
Communities embrace youth facing homelessness,
prioritizing their deep human need
for connection and belonging

OUR MISSION

We catalyze system change for youth facing homelessness by championing lasting relationships with the caring adults already in their lives who are not their service providers. We develop strategies to fortify these life-giving connections and advocate for investing in their transformative power.

How We Work

We listen to young people experiencing homelessness and the caring adults who host them

We convene “huddles” of youth with lived experience, community volunteers and host home staff from tribal nations and rural, suburban, and urban areas

We conduct research to identify practical responses, and

We pilot innovative solutions.
