Youth Homelessness continues to be a major problem in Northeast Pennsylvania. Young adults, especially females, will not go to adult shelters as they are uncomfortable in such settings. As a result, they "couch surf", sleep in vehicles, or other avenues and go unnoticed in the overall scope of homelessness.
The NEPA Youth Shelter owns an apartment building where they serve as housing provider and landlord. In this unique setup, they can offer more support and empathy especially during times where individuals may be facing eviction. They can only house 3 youth at a time in this apartment, but the problem transcends this. Please help them to be able to assist more youth who seek an alternative to homelessness.
