Youth HYPE Housing Program

At Youth HYPE Housing Program in Lansing, IL, we believe that everyone deserves a place to call home. Our dedicated team empowers young adults aged 18-24 to actively manage their housing situations, providing essential resources for positive outcomes. As part of our mission to combat homelessness, we operate a Walk-In Entry Point Center in partnership with The Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County, connecting individuals with vital support services. Our program offers financial assistance to prevent homelessness, educational advocacy for those facing eviction or foreclosure, and money management counseling to enhance financial literacy. We also provide career coaching to help clients become job-ready and gain meaningful employment. Additionally, we assist residents with SNAP and Medicaid applications and operate a food pantry open to all local residents with prior registration. With compassionate staff committed to treating everyone with respect, we work tirelessly to transform crises into opportunities and ensure that our services remain free of charge for all who need them.
