Project h.o.m.e.r.u.n.

Project H.O.M.E.R.U.N., a Transitional Living Program (TLP) designed to provide shelter and supportive services to transition-age youth (TAY) ages 18 through 24 who are housing insecure and have been impacted by the child welfare and/or the juvenile justice systems. Project H.O.M.E.R.U.N. represents: The Housing, Outreach, Mentorship, Employment, and Reentry Uplift Network. This initiative provides a comprehensive approach to navigating the housing market, 1-on-1 transition planning, peer support, workforce readiness training, job placement, and internship opportunities. Our goal is to foster resilience, cultivate self-sufficiency, and dismantle barriers to successful community integration, ensuring every young adult is enveloped in what we fondly call "the Tribe," a supportive network of community organizations, leaders, and stakeholders dedicated to their success. 

By drawing upon the familiar and beloved sport of baseball, Project H.O.M.E.R.U.N. aims to make the process of attaining independence more accessible and relatable. Each base on the diamond - first, second, third, and home - represents a critical milestone that participants must navigate, building the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to ultimately cross the plate and claim their own personal victory. Youth will embark on a journey that echoes the thrill and triumph of the national pastime, ultimately transforming their lives and achieving the ultimate goal of independence.
