Developing JAS 2
Donate NowThe Need for Expansion
The last two years of the pandemic highlighted the need for additional affordable housing. Unfortunately, with the current shortage, our youth find it even more difficult to obtain housing due to not meeting the necessary landlord requirements. As a result, we are currently turning youth away and are not able to provide a transitional step.
Our Ideal Scenario
An expansion would create a second site for housing 12-14 more youth in Phase 1 programming. We will then convert our old site to a Phase 2 program. Here youth who have been successful would be able to further their independence and practice newly acquired skills.
This space would allow staff to hold confidential meetings with youth, have independent living sessions with hands-on activities, and two emergency rooms for youth needing shortterm stays when on break from college.
Meet Sequoia
“Hi, my name is Sequoia. I’ve been at the JAS house for 9 months. The day I turned 18 I had to start figuring out where I was going because the thought of being homeless scared me. When I learned about the Journey to Adult Success program I knew right away this is where I needed to be.
Since being at the JAS house I’ve maintained a job and I’ve been able to save money for the future.
The JAS house has helped me reach my goals and shaped me into the person I am today. Without the support of the JAS staff, I wouldn’t be where I am today. The Journey to Adult Success program has been one of the best things that has come into my life and I can’t thank them enough for everything they have offered and provided to me.”
