Help Sustain The Movement

Since our founding, Point Source Youth has been guided by a singular mission: preventing and ending youth homelessness.

We are deeply committed to ensuring that every young person at risk of or experiencing homelessness — particularly Black, Brown, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ youth who have been historically marginalized — has the opportunity to succeed and thrive. That journey begins with access to safe and stable housing.

As we approach our 10th Anniversary next year, we’ve reorganized our work to focus specifically on the interventions that we believe will work best to prevent and end youth homelessness — initiatives that empower young people by placing resources directly in their hands.

Direct Cash Transfers are at the forefront of this work.  While receiving the cash, young people also have access to affirming, youth-driven services provided by a local community-based organization skilled in serving youth.

We are also thrilled to work to scale Direct Cash Transfers as Prevention, where young people who are about to experience homelessness are provided targeted direct cash transfers together with youth-determined supports, including a housing plan to prevent them from experiencing homelessness in the first place.

With solutions like Direct Cash Transfers, we are more confident than ever that preventing and ending youth homelessness in the U.S. is within reach. Will you join us by making a donation today?
