Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

HOPE 4 Youth provides pathways to end youth homelessness.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Providing pathways to end youth homelessness.

  • HOPE 4 Youth has been providing pathways to end youth homelessness in the north metro area since 2012, serving young people ages 16-24 through an integrated approach that addresses both immediate needs and long-term stability. Our mission centers on four key pillars: Housing, Outreach, Prevention, and Education/Employment (HOPE), creating comprehensive pathways out of homelessness.At the heart of our organization is our HOPE 4 Youth Center, which serves as a vital first point of contact for youth experiencing homelessness. This evidence-based model provides immediate crisis intervention and walk-in access to essential services, while also serving as a gateway to our broader support network. Through the HOPE 4 Youth Center, youth can access case management services that connect them to our full spectrum of programs, including transitional housing at HOPE Place, employment resources, educational support, and host home opportunities. In 2024, HOPE 4 Youth served 650 youth and 90% of those youth engaged in case management.

    Expenses $1,311,229

  • HOPE Place is a transitional housing program with apartments for twelve youth. Youth are eligible to participate in residency for up to two years, accessing on-site case management services, education assistance, and employment options. HOPE 4 Youth partners with the Anoka County Workforce Center for employment activities. The facility consists of 12 studio apartments with bathrooms and kitchens for youth to live independently. There is also a large common area and community kitchen that is used for programing and events for residents to gather.Housing SupportHOPE 4 Youth offers qualified youth financial assistance and needed resources to help maintain their current housing. We have entered into agreements with Anoka County, for FHPAP, and Aid to Counties, along with MN Housing Support for funding. Many of these youth need a month or two of support to maintain housing while they are transitioning jobs or paying off debt. In 2024, HOPE 4 Youth provided over $130,000 in rent support to youth.

    Expenses $619,072 · Revenue $157,856

  • Outreach and PreventionHOPE 4 Youth provides homelessness prevention assistance with the goal of preventing an episode of homelessness as quickly as possible. The youth are identified through outreach-based services during their time at the Center where they connect with a staff member, or in a case management session. HOPE 4 Youth is working with local school districts to better connect with school-age youth who fall within our service demographics. The goal is to work alongside school personnel to see improved educational outcomes for the youth we serve and a reduction in the number of high school students experiencing homelessness. In 2024, HOPE 4 Youth expanded our outreach in schools and the community reaching 418 youth.Youth Advisory CouncilHOPE 4 Youth uses a person-centered approach, encouraging youth to actualize the process of moving from homelessness to stability. We ask for youth feedback through our Youth Advisory Council that meets monthly regarding program enhancements and changes. The program has regular and high levels of attendance. The Youth Advisory Council encourages leadership development opportunities and planning of onsite events and Hill Day.
