Youth HYPE Housing Program

At Northwest Compass’ Youth HYPE Housing Program in Park Ridge, IL, we believe that every individual deserves a safe and stable place to call home. Our mission is to empower youth aged 18-24 who are experiencing homelessness or housing instability by providing comprehensive support and resources tailored to each person's needs. We offer a welcoming entry point for those seeking assistance, connecting them with vital services to prevent eviction and foreclosure, while also offering financial support and education. Our dedicated team provides career coaching to enhance job readiness and fosters financial literacy through money management counseling. As a proud partner of the Greater Chicago Food Depository, we facilitate access to emergency food resources, including a monthly food pantry open to all residents. With a focus on advocacy and empowerment, we strive to transform crises into opportunities, treating everyone with the respect and compassion they deserve, all at no cost. Together, we can create pathways to stability and a brighter future.
