The Teen Action and Support Center has developed a project called the Teen Thrive NWA. It provides a place for teens with housing insecurity, and other hardships. They will be provided a pathway out of poverty by locating, assessing, and offering continued guidance and care to homeless youth, which can result in higher educational attainment, longer lifetime earning potential, and better health outcomes.

They serve young teenage men and women with physical and referral resources, connections, mentors, and other programs. These can include counseling, family and school mediation, referrals to mental health services, parenting education for teenage parents, and job readiness. The first steps include managing their cases and connecting them with more resources in the community, such as emergency and transitional housing, mental health services, food, job training and assistance, and more.
