MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Your donation will help MHA provide services throughout Western Massachusetts to people impacted by mental illness, developmental disabilities, substance use disorder and homelessness.
It’s hard for a young person to achieve individual goals and aspirations if they lack stable housing. Staying in school, getting a job, or maintaining healthy relationships is difficult when the immediate concern is where they’ll sleep tonight. But searching the world of housing resources can be daunting.
MHA Youth Housing Navigators help young adults to identify and access resources that fit their individual needs and circumstances. Initially, this involves securing or sustaining housing. It also could mean connecting young adults with meaningful benefits, such as health insurance, food subsidies, mental health services, job training or employment opportunities.
MHA Youth Housing Navigators focus on individuals ages 18 to 24 who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. There is no cost to work with an MHA Youth Navigator.
Our empathetic team members are experienced working with individuals from all backgrounds as well as persons with physical disabilities or mental health concerns
