Announcing: The Project Yet House

Project Yet has made a huge leap forward because of the generous support of people like you.

​

On May 1st, we signed a lease on our first Project Yet House. It was a goal and a dream from the beginning of Project Yet to have a safe place for young adults to live and learn the skills they need to be independent. Affordable housing for young adults is in short supply especially as they first enter the workforce and are building credit for the first time. The Project Yet House provides a home for 4 young adults. 

​​​

What kind of impact has Project Yet made on young adults 18 – 24 years old?

We asked Cooper Duncan who has been involved in Project Yet since he was 18 years old. Now at 21, Cooper serves as a young adult member of our Board of Directors and was the first participant to move into the Project Yet house. He is also serving in the role of house manager. 

​​

In addition to building a community of friends and developing relationships with supportive adults, Cooper says, “One of the key things I learned through Project Yet was how important it is to get to know people and recognize that everyone has something to give. Having conversations and spending time with another person, you learn what is important to them and that gives you a basis for understanding and supporting one other. My personal experience with this organization pushed me believe I had something valuable to offer and gave me the confidence to strive for the life and career I want.”

When asked what impact the house has had on young adults involved with our nonprofit, Cooper said, “the PY House provides a stable base for me and other young adults to get started as they move into adulthood. When you don’t know where you will live, it’s impossible to plan, learn, or find the best job. With safe housing, residents can get their feet under them as they save money and build credit, while focusing on opportunities to grow into their best selves.”

HERE IS HOW YOU CAN HELP

We are asking businesses and individuals to donate all or part of one month’s rent. A full month is $2000; half month is $1000; and one week is $500.

In addition, many of the young adults we serve face food insecurity.  Donations of grocery and gas gift cards are greatly appreciated and make a massive difference. 

​​

We are grateful for the ongoing support​​ of our community
