YAI Housing Accommodations

Our YAI youth typically reside a supported one bedroom program apartment in a safe setting that is convenient to bus lines, community resources, employment opportunities, shopping and recreation in East Baltimore.  Youth who have achieved their program goals and are working regularly are helped to transition to their own apartments in areas of choice convenient to their work, school and support systems within 6 months of aging out of care.  Youth are supported to assume increasing financial responsibility in order to be able to sustain a safe and responsible lifestyle on their own by age 21.

YAI Program apartments are fully furnished and equipped upon move-in to allow youth to more fully concentrate on completing their education, succeeding in vocational training, obtaining employment, and developing a meaningful career path.
