A locked door. A bed. A place to breathe. Why transitional housing is the first step to long-term success for youth aging out of care.
It’s easy to underestimate the value of a room.
But for a young person who’s never had a permanent place to stay — a room becomes everything.
At Navigating Upwards, our 60-day transitional housing program offers more than just shelter. It offers sanctuary. It offers routine. It offers a base from which to build a new life.
Participants can shower, rest, prepare meals, and focus on work or school — all without the fear of being displaced.
Studies show that stable housing is one of the biggest indicators of success for at-risk youth. Our rooms are launching pads. And the people inside them? They’re building futures.
