Upcoming Programs
We’re building for the future and expanding our reach to help even more young people find stability, purpose, and hope. Here’s what’s on the horizon:
- Youth Homeless Prevention Campus
Opening in Spring 2025, this groundbreaking campus will be the first of its kind in the nation. It will provide wraparound care, education, vocational training, and wellness support—all in one safe and supportive space. This transformative project will allow us to serve more youth than ever before, offering a foundation for their future success. - Expanded Vocational Training Programs
In response to community demand, we’re working to expand our accredited vocational and educational programs to equip more young adults with the skills needed to secure stable employment and achieve self-sufficiency. - Wellness Initiatives
With mental health at the forefront, our future plans include creating spaces and resources dedicated to emotional wellness, mindfulness, and self-care to empower youth to take charge of their overall well-being. - Perk’s Place
A dual-purpose initiative offering accredited vocational and college programs, as well as emergency support for youth facing crises. It’s a lifeline and a launching pad for success.
At The UP House, our goal is to serve this population and future generations by providing a comfortable home, compassionate staff, a feeling of belonging and the tools they need to build a better tomorrow.
