Empowering Young Adults to Stand Confidently on Their Own. It’s not about starting over—it’s about strengthening the path you’re already on. Whether you’re between jobs, managing living expenses after missing work, exploring new housing options, or navigating transportation barriers, our goal is to provide the tools and resources needed to regain stability and continue building an independent future. This program is for young adults who are ready to take the next steps but need assistance in overcoming short-term hurdles.
Essentials for Independence is not a replacement for Advocacy, case management, legal services, or emergency assistance.
Bus passes or Uber/Lyft rides for job interviews and appointments.
Guidance on housing resources and referrals (excluding emergency housing placements).

Programs and tools for young parents.
Essential skills for long-term independence.

We believe every child deserves the chance to discover their passions, build confidence, and experience the joy of belonging.
