Youth Engagement Drop-In Hours: Housing Help & Support

Every Wednesday | 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Orangewood Foundation Drop-In Center

If you’re 18–24 and experiencing homelessness or housing instability, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it alone either. Orangewood’s Youth Engagement (YE) program is here to walk with you every step of the way.

During our weekly drop-in hours, you can:

  • Get help navigating the Coordinated Entry System (CES) to find emergency shelter, rapid rehousing, or long-term housing options.

  • Meet one-on-one with our team for personalized support tailored to your unique needs.

  • Access essential resources like hot meals, showers, hygiene products, and budgeting guidance.

  • Connect to community programs for healthcare, job support, and more.

We know the housing process can be overwhelming—but at Orangewood, you’re part of a community that cares. Come by, ask questions, and take the next step toward stability. No appointment needed—just drop in.

The Drop-In Center at Orangewood Foundation is a welcoming hub where young people – particularly those who have experienced foster care – can access critical resources and support. Located within the Orangewood Resource Center, the Drop-In Center provides meals, showers, laundry facilities, and access to caring staff who can help with housing, education, employment, and health services. It’s a safe space built on trust and connection, offering young adults the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges and work toward their goals.
