Every night, there are more than 1,000 youth and young adults who are experiencing acute homelessness in the Seattle and King County area.

The YMCA is the largest provider of housing for youth and young adults experiencing homelessness in King County. Each night, the Y Social Impact Center houses 450 youth and young adults who would otherwise be living on the streets. Additionally, we provide wrap-around services including behavioral health, employment training and much more. Now, more than ever, we need committed donors like you.

34% of kids aging out of foster care become homeless within one year.

53% of homeless youth are kids of color. King County is about 70% white, so the disparity is huge.

27% are LGBTQIA who may find that the streets are the one place they are accepted.

Your support today means that young people won’t have to wonder where they’ll sleep tonight, if they’ll have a meal tomorrow, or if the help they need will still be there.

$100 can help with essentials like hygiene supplies and other essential household items as individuals move into a shelter location.

$250 can support our WAGES job training program ensuring that young people have the skills necessary to enter the workforce.

$500 can support a month’s rent in transitional housing for a young person leaving the streets.

Please make a gift today to ensure that every young person has access to safety, stability, and a path forward.
