Youth HYPE Housing Program

At the Youth HYPE Housing Program in Streamwood, IL, we believe everyone deserves a safe place to call home. Our dedicated team at Northwest Compass empowers young adults aged 18-24 to take an active role in managing their housing situations, providing tailored solutions that reflect their unique needs. We serve as a vital walk-in entry point in the North Suburban Region, connecting individuals and families to essential resources through our partnership with The Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County. Our comprehensive services include limited homeless prevention financial assistance, education and advocacy for those facing eviction or foreclosure, and money management counseling to help clients navigate their finances. Additionally, we offer career coaching to prepare young adults for job readiness and a food pantry that is accessible to all residents, with registration required. We assist with SNAP and Medicaid applications to ensure individuals have access to vital support. At Northwest Compass, we are committed to treating every person with dignity and respect, transforming crises into opportunities with compassionate care and support.
