Welcome to the Host Home Program offered by Greater Carolinas Womens Center. We understand that youth experiencing homelessness need a safe and supportive environment to thrive. Our comprehensive emergency housing solution aims to address their immediate needs and provide them with a pathway to a brighter future.

What is the Host Home Program?

The Host Home Program is a vital initiative offered by Greater Carolinas Womens Center to address the urgent needs of youth facing housing instability. Through this program, we connect homeless youth with volunteer hosts who open their homes and hearts to provide a safe and welcoming environment.

We carefully screen and train our hosts to ensure they can provide the necessary support and guidance to the young individuals in our program. By matching youth with compassionate hosts, we create a sense of belonging and stability that is crucial for their well-being.

How Does it Work?

When a young person enters our Host Home Program, our dedicated team assesses their unique circumstances and collaboratively develop a personalized plan to empower them towards self-sufficiency. This plan includes safe housing, educational support, life skills training, and access to various support services.

Our hosts open their homes and provide a nurturing environment where youth can regain stability and work towards achieving their goals. We match each youth carefully to ensure compatibility and strive to create an atmosphere that promotes growth, confidence, and resilience.

The Benefits of the Host Home Program

Our Host Home Program offers numerous benefits to both the youth we serve and our dedicated hosts. Some of these benefits include:

  • Safe and Supportive Environment: The program provides a stable and caring home environment where youth are free from homelessness and associated risks.
  • Mentorship and Guidance: Youth receive mentorship from their hosts, who serve as positive role models, helping them develop life skills and make informed choices.
  • Access to Education and Resources: We ensure that each youth in our program has access to educational opportunities, job training, and resources aimed at improving their long-term prospects.
  • Community Connection: Building connections within the community is a key part of the program. Our hosts and staff work together to foster a sense of belonging and provide ongoing support.
  • Empowerment and Responsibility: The Host Home Program promotes accountability and responsibility among youth, empowering them to take ownership of their lives and work towards a brighter future.
