About this organization
Mission
Our mission is to empower, safeguard and serve youth, ages 18-24, who are experiencing homelessness, disconnection and exploitation in the Greater Washington region with housing, education, wrap-around support services, workforce readiness training and job placement support to help them get back and stay on track. We envision a region where all youth experiencing homelessness are “at home” safe, secure and thriving.
About
Emergency housing and crisis care - Emergency housing and crisis care programs provide housing to 69 single youth ages 12-24 and their children. Emergency housing and crisis care is a flexible program to get youth off the street while providing them with a customized plan tailored toward getting their lives back on track. During their stay, youth receive case management, career and education support, food, clothing, mental health support, and other wrap-around services that eliminate barriers that prevent them from moving to more stable housing or reunifying with family. Youth who are pregnant or parenting receive parent education and safety classes to ensure adequate training for caring for their child. In response to increasing trends in exploitation and trafficking, in July 2017, crisis capacity expanded to include an overnight respite program which provides safe housing to youth ages 18-24 in need of immediate sanctuary. Elizabeth's House is Washington DC's first teen mother facility offering support to pregnant and parenting teen mothers (12-21) years of age. The goal of the program is to reunify program participants with stable families. The facility can accommodate 6 moms and 6 babies and offers individual and small group supports and services, parenting and social emotional workshops and trainings in an effort to equip teen mothers with the tools and habits of mind necessary to form positive interactions with their little ones in support of their development into nurturing parents and self-sufficient adults.
