My First Place
My First Place, a supported housing program, provides stability for former foster youth through safe, permanent, affordable housing, intensive case management, and advocacy and support services. Young people live in one- and two-bedroom apartments, and receive support with move-in costs, rent, food, self-reliance planning, health and mental health needs as well as employment and education. My First Place allows former foster youth the opportunity to develop a sense of permanency for the first time in their lives. Staff supports young people to set and achieve goals that move them toward greater independence and develop self-esteem. Through the stability provided by My First Place housing, youth build communities, pursue their dreams, and pave their own way for successful, independent living for years to come.
