Youth HYPE Housing Program

At Youth HYPE Housing Program in Oak Lawn, IL, we believe that everyone deserves a safe and supportive place to call home. As a vital part of Northwest Compass, our program focuses on empowering young individuals aged 18-24 in managing their housing situations effectively. Through our Walk-In Entry Point Center, we connect clients facing homelessness or housing instability with essential resources, including limited financial assistance for homelessness prevention, education on money management, and career coaching to help them become job-ready. We also provide advocacy for those confronting eviction or foreclosure and offer access to the Greater Chicago Food Depository's food pantry services, ensuring that all residents have the nourishment they need. Our dedicated staff members approach each situation with compassion and respect, striving to turn moments of crisis into opportunities for growth and stability. We invite those in need to visit us and see how we can help.
