HOPE 4 Youth

HOPE 4 Youth is a non-profit organization with a mission to provide pathways to end youth homelessness. Our name is an acronym for our core services: Housing, Outreach, Prevention, Education and Employment. We serve youth ages 16 24 who are at risk of losing their home or who are already experiencing homelessness. In 2021 we had a 45% increase in the number of youth seeking services.

The Drop-In Center in Anoka is the hub for many of our services. It is a safe, non-judgmental place for all youth who are in need. No appointment is necessary to visit for a hot meal, to get clothing or hygiene items, or to use the shower or laundry facilities. Case managers at the center also connect young people to stable housing, health and wellness programs, education and employment opportunities and more.

Our housing initiatives include HOPE Place, our transitional housing facility in Coon Rapids that is home to 12 young people learning skills needed to house themselves. Our HOPE Homes program supports youth at risk of homelessness and a caring adult in their life who can provide stable and supportive housing to the youth.
