Extraordinary provider partners reach more than 40,000 young people annually with services designed to promote stability, connection, independence, and opportunity.
Our residential services include crisis services program, transitional independent living support programs,
and across the city, residential programs serve young people ages 16 through 24, providing a total of 913 beds.
For homeless young adults ages 21 to 24, DYCD funds six programs with a total of 160 beds.
We are grateful that in partnership with the council and under the leadership of Chair Stevens, this capacity was expanded by 100 beds for homeless young adults, strengthening our ability to
respond to growing needs of this community.
Of these 100 new beds, 70 are currently serving young people, 20 are scheduled to open shortly, and we continue to work with providers to identify a site for the remaining 10 beds.
