Just $30 Helps House a Young Person

Join Us to End Youth Homelessness

Tonight, somewhere in our city, a young person will sleep in a car, on a couch, or outside.

Not because they lack dreams.
Not because they lack potential.
But because they lack stability.

Youth homelessness is one of the most urgent and often invisible crises in our communities. Thousands of young adults are navigating the transition to adulthood without safe housing, family support, or the resources they need to build a stable future.

At the April Parker Foundation, we believe something deeply simple:

Every young person deserves a safe place to live while they build their future.

Through Futures First: Housing, we are working to end youth homelessness one city at a time — and one life at a time.

The Reality

It costs $90 per day to house and support a young person on their path toward independence.

That $90 provides far more than a bed.

It provides:

• Safe and stable housing
• Life coaching and mentorship
• Job readiness and employment support
• Health and wellness guidance
• Education and workforce navigation
• A personalized plan for independence

For many young people, this support is the difference between survival and stability — and between stability and opportunity.

The $90 Circle of Support

We believe that solving youth homelessness requires a community effort.

Our innovative Triple-Impact Model brings together three partners to support each young person:

$30 from community supporters like you
Individuals who believe in creating opportunity and brighter futures.

$30 from private donors and businesses
Organizations committed to social responsibility and community impact.

$30 from government funding
Public resources that strengthen and scale community solutions.

Together, these three contributions create the $90 per day needed to house and support a young person.

Your support is the spark that activates this entire circle of care.

How Futures First Changes Lives

When Maurice entered our program, he had been sleeping in a car for three months. Today he has stable housing, a job, and is enrolled in community college.

Our program goes beyond shelter. We help young people build the foundation for a stable and independent life.

Community-Based Housing

Participants live in housing that is embedded within the community, creating a sense of safety, belonging, and connection while they rebuild stability.

Life Skills for Independence

Young adults gain the tools needed to thrive — including financial literacy, job readiness, career exploration, and health and wellness support.

Personalized Case Management

Every participant works closely with a mentor who helps them develop a personalized plan for education, employment, housing stability, and long-term success.

Because every young person’s journey is different.
And every future deserves thoughtful support.

A Community Movement

Ending youth homelessness cannot happen alone.

The Futures First: HomeBase works in collaboration with:

• Local housing providers
• Community-based organizations
• Schools and educators
• Workforce and employment partners
• Health and wellness providers

Together, we are building a network of opportunity that helps young people move from crisis to confidence.

Your Impact

When you give $30 per month, you become part of a community that provides:

✔ Safe housing
✔ Life skills and mentorship
✔ Workforce development
✔ Emotional and social support
✔ A pathway to independence

Your contribution helps a young person move from uncertainty to stability — and from stability to possibility.

Why This Matters

Young adulthood is a critical period in life. Without stable housing, many young people face barriers that affect their education, employment, health, and long-term well-being.

But when we intervene early — with housing, mentorship, and opportunity — the outcomes change dramatically.

Youth who receive the right support are far more likely to:

• Maintain stable housing
• Secure employment
• Continue their education
• Build healthy relationships
• Contribute positively to their communities

Your support helps make this transformation possible.

Join Us

This initiative is ambitious.

But the need is urgent.

And the solution is possible when communities come together.

Together, we can ensure that every young person has the opportunity to build a safe, stable, and successful future.

Join us in this vital mission.

Your voice, your support, and your generosity can help transform lives and reshape our community.
