Thank-you to the wonderful supporting members of our community and even outside of our counties,  individuals and bussinesses that help make our services available to the Homeless Youth in Skagit and Whatcom Counties; to Teen Court, Summer Jobs; GLBTQ, and general resource support that we can provide at our offices.  THANK-YOU!

Community support is so essential to get these youth on their way to living healthy lives in the community.  In July alone, we have recieved 51 applications for housing and recieved many more calls from people needing resources.  The need for healthy homes is there.  Help us to help our youth learn essential skills to keeping a home and being safe;  these are priceless assets in each of our lives.
