Housing Assistance Program
Umoja House provides
transitional living arrangements for up to 21 months to young people ages
17 to 21. This dormitory-style apartment is staffed with case managers that
provide one-on-one counseling, financial coaching and life skills
training.

more independently while still having a case manager providing 24-hour
on-call supportive services.
Youth in both of
these programs are required to be enrolled in an educational or vocational
program and be employed part-time, with the option to participate in our
