It may not be "top of mind" for many of us, but the numbers are real. Many youth in our area are facing challenges like homelessness and are in need of support.
AYA Youth Collective offers that support. This organization steps up to provide resources and opportunities for those who need them. AYA supports hundreds of kids at their Drop-in Center and owns numerous homes to provide affordable housing for young people.
