Host Homes Program Info Sessions

On Thursday, January 9th, Community Solutions for Behavioral Health & The Town of Nantucket Human Services department will be sponsoring introductory sessions for those interested in learning more about the Host Homes Program which is delivered by The Homeless Prevention Council based in Orleans. This program pairs homeless, transitional-aged youth (ages 18-24) with community members who have underutilized space in their homes. Guests will have access to short-term shelter while building meaningful connections with their caring adult host. A financial stipend is available for the host. During the stay, the guests will be able to safely engage in their long-term housing search while saving income earned to be used toward their future housing needs. HPC’s Host Home coordinator will match each guest with a host, based on living style compatibility, for a stay of 4-12 months with the option to extend the stay, if needed. The youth guests can focus on future housing, academic, and employment goals with the help of their HPC Case Manager guiding them every step on their pathway toward success.
