family housing program
Our young people see continuing their education as the best path to a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities. But without support, the dream of a college education is out of reach for many.
The Family Housing Program provides advocacy services to homeless families, assisting with barrier reduction and stabilization in permanent housing placements. Advocates assist families by identifying barriers to housing and connecting them with resources at NAYA and throughout the community to address those barriers.
Program funds can be used to address needs related to housing stability and can include payment of move-in costs and/or rent, pending ongoing engagement and funding availability.
