In California 20,000 to 25,000 youth are homeless. More shocking statistics - 65% of foster youth emancipate without a place to live. HomeAid's 46th housing development built for The Teen Project provides a home and family support system for young women who have aged out of the foster care system. The average stay in the program is 24 months. The residents live in a stable environment with guidance and structure provided by professional staff. The ultimate goal for each young woman is to become a productive, independent and self-sufficient adult.
