We recently launched an innovative Youth Advocacy Housing Program based out of our Casa Tepeyac location, marking a significant stride in our mission to enhance the lives of young individuals. This initiative aims to bridge the gap for DCFS youth that will be aging out of foster care by assisting them with obtaining housing. This includes providing assistance in securing affordable housing, linkages to community-based resources, employment search and additional support that promotes stability towards independence.
This program offers support to families who have children at risk of being placed in DCFS care or who have children that cannot return home. Services are provided to assist DCFS involved families to locate and maintain adequate housing. Families in Norman services have the opportunity to work with a housing advocacy program, which provides support in applying to affordable housing, linkages to community resources, accessing public benefits and assistance in overcoming housing challenges.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Chicago Yacht Club Foundation for providing a transformative experience with their generosity of donating swimming classes and equipment to the youth in our care. Their commitment to fostering a sense of joy and skill development through these opportunities is invaluable, creating lasting memories and empowering our young individuals to navigate the waters of life with confidence.
