Youth HYPE Housing Program

At the Youth HYPE Housing Program in Evanston, IL, we believe that everyone deserves a safe and supportive place to call home. Our dedicated team at Northwest Compass empowers young adults aged 18-24 to take charge of their housing situations through a range of essential services designed to foster stability and promote personal growth. We are a walk-in entry point center and collaborate with The Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County to connect residents to vital resources. Our program includes limited financial assistance for homeless prevention, education on eviction and foreclosure support, money management counseling, and personalized career coaching to prepare clients for successful employment. Additionally, we assist with SNAP and Medicaid applications and provide a food pantry accessible to all residents, ensuring that no one faces food insecurity alone. With a commitment to treating everyone with respect and compassion, we strive to transform housing crises into empowering opportunities, offering our services free of charge to all who need them.
