LIVE ·2023 Grants ChallengeInspiring Young Adults Experiencing Homelessness to Build Self Sufficient Lives
Transition Age Young Adults (TAYA) ages 25-30 experiencing homelessness have unique needs as they "age out" of youth services and struggle to successfully access adult services to resolve their homelessness. Support will help My Friend's Place close this gap in culturally appropriate, trauma-informed services for this population. This initiative, serving predominantly BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and other young people from marginalized communities, will equip and empower young adults to move toward greater wellness and a permanent exit from homelessness.
