Young Parents
Young people who grew up in care are far more likely to have their own children placed in care. We work to make sure that stops with this generation.
Young Parents pairs each family with a family coach who visits at home, helps navigate childcare subsidies, and connects parents to pediatric care. Twenty Landing Homes apartments are reserved for parents and their children.
Our Thursday Parent Circle meets for dinner, conversation, and a play room run by trained volunteers. Families also get a diaper and formula pantry at The Porch, open any day we're open.
Since 2018, 96% of children in Young Parents families have remained safely with their parents.
