Our transitional living program serves homeless youth ages 18-21 and emancipated minors 16-17, including pregnant and parenting teens and youth aging out of foster care. The program uses the youth development approach to assist these youth in making a successful transition to adulthood.

Up to 7-10 youth are housed in adjoining townhouses in downtown Ukiah. Youth may stay in the program for up to 18 months. They are required to work and/or go to school
