Youth Navigator Program

Waypoint’s Youth Navigator is the “front door” for youth ages 12-24 to access immediate services when faced with a housing crisis. This means they are the first person a young person connects with.

The Youth Navigator Program provides one-on-one help for young people navigating a housing crisis. We provide resources, referral, and coordination to support young people who might be thinking of leaving home or who already do not live with parents/guardians, are couch surfing, or are experiencing homelessness. Through the program, we help youth chart a course to safety.
