New Homes, Brighter Futures
Profiles of Housing Programs for Young Adults
This publication was prepared by CSH’s New York Program and National Resource Center teams following the New Homes, Brighter Futures: Supportive Housing for Young Adults Conference held in April 2007. This publication is the result of CSH's efforts to gather and present information on promising supportive and service-enriched housing models for young adults who are homeless, at-risk of homelessness, or otherwise do not have a place to call home.
In addition to providing information regarding the role of supportive housing in ending homelessness among young adults and recommended practices for housing providers, this publication includes profiles of ten (10) housing projects for young adults, including both permanent and transitional housing models:
