For Homeless & At-Risk Youth
Pathways to Work & Housing Resources, Inc. provides referrals, guidance, and support services. We do not directly provide housing but assist participants in navigating available housing resources and opportunities.
The Youth Independence & Housing Stability Program is designed to support young adults ages 18–24 who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless. The program provides structured guidance, life skills development, and resource connections to help participants transition toward safe, stable, and independent living.
