Hope 4 Youth

PROVIDING PATHWAYS TO END YOUTH HOMELESSNESS

763.323.2066

HOPE 4 Youth is 501(c)3 nonprofit organization located in Anoka, Minnesota that meets the basic needs of young people (ages 23 and under) experiencing homelessness in the north metro suburbs.

On any given night, more than 6,000 homeless young people in the State of Minnesota. We work hard to change the life trajectories of the youth who walk through our Drop-In Center doors. Whether they need basic necessities – food from the food pantry, clothes from the clothing closet, a hot shower, a hot, nutritious meal or personal hygiene items – or help finding housing, securing employment, finishing their education or accessing health care, we help put them on a path that allows them to leave their status of homeless in the past

We focus on four key areas (HOPE)

Housing

We provide resources that link young people to all housing options (shelter, transitional, including HOPE Place, affordable, etc.). *HOPE 4 Youth is an access point for Coordinated Entry.*

Outreach

We meet young people out in the community where they are at and provide them with basic items as well as referrals to resources including HOPE 4 Youth’s Drop-In Center.

Prevention

We partner with service providers to connect youth to resources and services that address and prevent homelessness.

Education

We offer educational opportunities to the youth, volunteers who support them and the entire community.

Anoka’s Local Youth Homeless Center

HOPE 4 Youth grew out of a community effort to combat youth homelessness. In November 2012, a series of news articles raised awareness of young people in Anoka County who were in need of basic resources. The stories were published during the coldest days of winter and sparked an immediate reaction from the public.

As a result, partnerships were built, donations solicited and in March 2013 HOPE 4 Youth opened our doors; becoming the first Drop-In Center for homeless and at-risk youth in the north metro suburbs.

When the doors of the Drop-In Center close, many of the youth find themselves couch-hopping or back on the streets. In response to this, we decided to expand our focus on long-term solutions to ending youth homelessness and as a result opened HOPE Place, the first transitional housing for young people ages 18-24 in the north metro suburbs, in late 2016.

Drop-In Center : Mon-Fri 2-7 p.m.

Donations Center : Wed & Sat 9 a.m.-noon
