Host Home

Serves youth 16-21 who are homeless or unstably housed

• Not required to use Coordinated Entry – we have significant flexibility to recruit/prioritize
• Nationally this has been an effective intervention for pregnant/parenting youth as well as other “hard to serve” youth

Families volunteer to “host” youth in their home for up to two years. WCA provides a stipend to cover expense and case management supports to both youth and host family

• Supports focus on life, social, emotional skills and transition into the workforce.
• Housing First as best practice
