About Jovenes, Inc.

Jovenes, Inc. (Youth, Inc.) is a place of personal transformation for homeless youth ages 18-25. A home and family for those without, Jovenes provides an innovative program of stable housing options, compassionate care, life skills training and employment support to young adults seeking a path to life change. Our mission is to help homeless youth and at-risk families become productive and integrated members of the community. Jovenes is a hands-on leader and innovator focused on permanent solutions to end the cycle of homelessness for our youth. Our housing model includes emergency shelter, transitional housing, permanent supportive housing for youth with mental disabilities, and scattered-site permanent supportive housing. Our platform of quality, efficient, low-cost housing continues to grow as we renovate houses in our community, providing additional housing options for our clients while helping to invigorate our neighborhood. Additionally, our Continuum of Care includes a variety of community-based services and programs, including life-skills training, counseling and health services, employment and education preparation, arts programming, and athletic opportunities. The Continuum of Care seeks to instill a quality of life our youth have previously been lacking. Jovenes helps them find jobs, further their education, manage their finances, develop positive relationships, boost their self-esteem, and move into their own apartments.
