Youth HYPE Housing Program

At Northwest Compass’ Youth HYPE Housing Program in Skokie, IL, we believe everyone deserves a safe and supportive home. Our dedicated team empowers young adults aged 18-24 to navigate their housing situations with confidence and resilience, providing tailored support and practical solutions for those facing homelessness or housing instability. Through our Walk-In Entry Point Center, we connect individuals to vital resources while offering limited financial assistance for homelessness prevention and educational advocacy to help prevent eviction and foreclosure. Our comprehensive services include money management counseling, career coaching, and assistance with SNAP and Medicaid applications to enhance financial literacy and employment readiness. Additionally, we operate a food pantry available to all residents, fostering community well-being and nourishment. At Northwest Compass, we treat every person with dignity and respect, striving to transform crises into opportunities for a brighter future, all at no cost to our clients.
