AT LEAST 4.2 MILLION YOUNG PEOPLE EXPERIENCE A FORM OF HOMELESSNESS IN A YEAR.
Your support enables us to continue programs to help youth overcome obstacle.
The Drop-In and Transitional Housing Center, ‘The Circle’, is a much-needed bridge of support for youth ages 16-24 to help address obstacles, provide support, and assist youth at risk of, or experiencing homelessness in the Rapid City area.
Currently, in Rapid City, in our schools, and neighborhood, there are hundreds, if not thousands of youth at risk, or literally homeless.
1 in 10 Youth ages 18-25 face homelessness each year.
1 in 30 Youth ages 13-17 face homelessness each year.
Rapid City School District has identified over 650 students at risk of or experiencing homelessness, just this school year.
Many of the students identified are living doubled up, meaning they are living with other people, such as a grandparent, or friend of the family, the lease or mortgage is not in their name, or their guardians name, and are still considered ‘at risk’ of homelessness.
This doesn't include young adults, or youth not engaged with the school district.
Some supports, based on youth and young adult goals, include:
Workforce Development
Continued Education:
Transitional Housing
Runaway and Homeless Emergency Shelter
Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Stalking, and Human Trafficking Advocacy, Education, and Case Management
Counseling
Medical Education and Referral
