September is Suicide Prevention Month. Let's come together as a community to spread awareness, offer support, and make a positive impact on mental health. Take action by reaching out to someone who might be struggling, sharing resources, or simply being a listening ear. Together, we can make a difference and bring hope to those who need it the most. For more information and resources, call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988. Support is available 24/7.

Have you heard of TAY Housing? It's one of our temporary housing programs for youth experiencing homelessness. We provide services to each youth to support their individual goals and their overall goal of becoming stable and independent. Our program supports foster youth, ages 18-21, and foster youth exiting the system, ages 18-24. Our program is open to both single and parenting youth and has a waitlist because of the high demand for housing assistance.
