YETS HOUSING PATHWAYS PROGRAM

Eco Housing System for Young adults ages 18-25

Building Up The Community


The YETS Housing Pathways Program was created to provide safe, supportive housing solutions for young adults ages 18-25 who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness.


Through a structured housing model, participants receive temporary shelter, transitional Housing, or co-living opportunities while gaining access to case management, life skills development, employment support, financial literacy, and optional mental health services.


Our goal is to stabilize young adults, equip them with the tools for independence, and help them transition to safe, sustainable living.

This program focuses on stability, accountability, and growth so young adults can move forward with confidence.


PROGRAM MISSION

The mission of the YETS Housing Pathways Program is to provide housing stability and supportive services that empower young adults to overcome crisis, build life skills, maintain employment or education, and transition successfully into independent living.


PROGRAM PURPOSE

Many young adults fall into homelessness due to unexpected life events such as family conflict, job loss, financial hardship, or lack of support systems. The YETS Housing Pathways Program creates structured housing pathways designed to meet participants where they are while helping them move toward long-term stability.


Through Housing, mentorship, and supportive services, participants gain the tools necessary to rebuild their lives and maintain independence.


Emergency Shelter up to 30 days
Transitional Housing structured Housing with support services
Co-Living Housing: affordable shared housing for students


Each pathway is designed to stabilize participants and help them transition toward independent living.


HOUSING PATHWAYS

The YETS Housing Pathways Program offers three housing pathways designed to meet the needs of young adults at different stages of stability.


Program Goal

Provide affordable Housing that allows young adults to maintain employment or education while building long-term stability.


ADDITIONAL SUPPORT SERVICES

Participants in the YETS Housing Pathways Program may also receive access to additional services through BUT,C including:

  • Case management and mentorship
  • Workforce development support
  • Financial literacy education
  • Life skills development
