Meeting Youth Where They Are

HomePlate envisions communities where homelessness is a short-term circumstance, not a long term or chronic condition, and youth are supported in their communities.

For Youth

HomePlate serves youth ages 12-24 who are experiencing any type of instability.

We strive to provide a judgement free and safer community to build relationships and take the first steps towards finding what stability means to you.

Our team can help with documentation and identification, job search and application assistance, skills training, resume & cover letter creation, and interview coaching.

The Need

The youth served at HomePlate face significant barriers to securing housing, which is a key factor in obtaining and maintaining employment.

Untreated health care needs, the lack of childcare or transportation to a job site, no previous formal job training or rental history, and lack of financial resources to help alleviate application fees or security deposit requirements play a large role in finding stability.

 

75%

After the recession, unhoused youth in Oregon grew 75% from 2007-2017. HomePlate anticipates a need for our services during and post-COVID.

3,265
