Our Mission

To support youth and young adults recovering from the trauma of homelessness and family separation through housing, healthcare, and advocacy.

Our Programs

Youth Oasis’ programming is designed to provide support services to youth and young adults and their families as they face challenging situations. These programs aim to break the cycle of homelessness and poverty in our community and in turn, throughout our state. Our programs are designed to address youth needs in the following areas:

  • Prevention

    Our Diversion Program & Drop-in Center provides resources, food, clothing, counseling, and healthcare referrals for youth ages 13-25 to help them avoid family separation.

  • Response

    We provide Emergency Shelter and Short-term Housing options for youth ages 16-21.

  • Support

    Geared towards the specific needs of youth with lived experience of homelessness and at-risk LGBTQ+ individuals, all residents receive at least a year of support services after their program ends.
