Founded in 1998, First Place for Youth helps foster youth build the skills they need to make a successful transition to self-sufficiency and responsible adulthood. With a wraparound support team, its My First Place program moves foster youth from homelessness and unstable living conditions into safe, affordable housing, and supports them in building a foundation for self-sufficiency through ongoing, intensive Case Management and individualized support to help them finish high school, enroll in college, develop professional skills and obtain meaningful employment. https://www.firstplaceforyouth.org/
