Doors of Change

The Doors of Change team reaches out to unhoused youth where they are and provides them with access to housing, mental health services, job placement, and college support, as well as clothing and other necessities.Our community-based program is built on several principles: (1) services need to be based on evaluations and customized to the needs of each youth, (2) most, if not all, of the youth we serve have been victimized and traumatized, therefore trauma-informed care is essential to their recovery, (3) hard work, participation and accountability are critical and required, and, (4) the services we offer must be client-centered, with the goals for each participant self-identified and supported by case management.Our goal is to help youth become self-sufficient and therefore partner with over 65 service-providing community organizations that specialize in mental health support, housing and shelter placements, employment opportunities, services for youth with disabilities, addiction treatment and domestic violence support.

Assist homeless transitional age youth(ages 17 to 25) access to the resources needed to improve their quality of life with the ultimate goal of getting them off the streets into safe housing and helping them attain self-sufficiency.
