Since 2007, November has been a time to acknowledge youth experiencing homelessness in our country. Youth represent nearly 1 in 10 homeless in our community and Eddy House has already served over 360 individuals this year. We are Northern Nevada’s only homeless shelter dedicated to serving any transitional aged youth. Our mission is to help young people develop the life and job skills necessary for sustainable independence, but this is a community effort.

In November, over 50 businesses throughout Northern Nevada are coming together to bring awareness to youth homelessness and raise needed support for them too. The best part is, you can get involved as well.

By joining us in November, you can help to end youth homelessness in our community.
