Jovenes
Jovenes acts as a home and family for the young youths who have none, aged 18 to 25. They are fighting to end the vicious cycle of homelessness. They help our struggling youth by focusing on their housing needs, their healthcare needs, their education, their employment, and their recovery from trauma.
There is short term housing, which provides a bed and warm meals to youths needing to get off the street. These are short-term solutions that offer emergency shelters and transitional housing. They are rent-free programs that provide the youth with time, space, and support for counseling and case management. These young men and women are given the help and advice they need to create an employment plan and ultimately move into permanent housing.
There are also permanent housing options that can meet the diverse needs of our young homeless population. Permanent housing is a situation where youth is able to sign a lease, pay an affordable rent, and have rights as a tenant. Throughout all the housing models, the youth are given access to case management. There is rapid rehousing, where rental subsidies help youth move into an apartment on their own and gradually take over the full cost of the lease. There is progress place, where youth with mental health problems are in a permanent supportive apartment.
