Host Home for Pregnant & Parenting Youth

What is a Host Home?

The Host Home program pairs pregnant and parenting youth ages 16-21 who are at risk of experiencing homeless with hosts in the community who provide them with a safe place to stay as they complete their education, build independent living skills, and care for their child. Eligible youth can stay in host homes for up to 18 months as they work with a Parent Educator to develop a plan to transition to permanent housing.

Host Qualifications:

  • Ability to commit time to a local youth.
  • Have a spare bedroom.
  • Ability to complete 16 training hours.
  • Can pass a background check.
  • Interest in forging a life-changing relationship.
