Offers a program that pairs a young person experiencing homelessness with a caring household wanting to make a difference. While Host Home Providers provide a living space and mentorship, the YHH program assist participants to overcome barriers preventing them from achieving educational, employment, and personal goals, and with developing skill-sets for attaining the self-sufficiency needed to live independently. Host Home Providers are individuals and families with an extra bedroom in their house or apartment who are willing to open their home to a young person experiencing homelessness. The YHH program seeks Providers who bring diverse attributes such as cultural backgrounds and lived experiences to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for participants to grow and express themselves. Participants in the YHH program include males, females, those who identify as LGBTQ, and all races and ethnicities. They may be victims of financial and economic conditions, young people exiting foster care, escaping abusive homes or fleeing domestic violence situations, and people with disabilities. Potential Host Home Providers are taken through an application and on-boarding process and will receive support from the YHH Program Coordinator to prepare the Provider for accepting a young person into their home. Once a Provider is active, a “match-meet” will be held between the Provider and participant to learn more about each other and to share each other’s expectations and hopes for the program. Once housed, case management works closely with each participant in providing resources, guidance, and opportunities for them to progress toward achieving their goals and independence. During the tenure of the match, Providers are expected to engage with the participant by providing mentoring to assist the young person to develop the skills, knowledge, and practices that will allow them to move forward toward permanent housing. Participants and Providers have ongoing support throughout the duration of the homesharing match.
