Imagine the possibilities...

Avenues' mission is to provide emergency shelter, short term housing and support services for homeless youth in a safe and nurturing environment.  Through such service, Avenues seeks to help youth achieve their personal goals and find a positive transition into young adulthood.

       THE SITUATION ...

 

 

Ten thousand young people in Minnesota experience homelessness every year. On any night around the state, nearly 2,000 youth and young adults are homeless and left to find their own way.

The consequences are harsh. Homeless youth can't get an apartment because of their age, background and lack of identification and income. They can't get a job without identification or a current address.

Their education is usually interrupted or cut off. They are victims of violence and abuse. They have limited or no access to health care, mental health services or legal services.
