The Department of Human Services is spearheading new initiatives to support young adults ages 18 through 24 who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, officials announced Thursday.
DHS is implementing four new projects that aim to increase housing security for unaccompanied transitioned age youth, couples and young families throughout Allegheny County.
“Stable housing is the foundation for helping people thrive. It’s a critical need for our youth who are turning 18,” DHS Director Marc Cherna said. “We thank all of our community partners who have been working together to ensure that Allegheny County has effective programs in place to help house those who are transitioning to adulthood.”
