Independent Living Programs

Apartments throughout Louisville and Salt River Trail region.

Our Independent Living Programs offer a launch pad to independence for young people with no family support. For youth living in our apartments we provide intensive case management, counseling, mentoring, life skills training, education, job training, and job placement. We also offer a specilized GED program, conducted by the Jefferson County Public Schools, to assist transitional and permanent clients in completing their education. Transportation services are provided for these programs by Boys' Haven.

Permanent Housing . . .
Housing Homeless Youth With Disabilities

Through a multi-year grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, we provide permanent housing for homeless youth and young adults (ages 18 and above) with mental, emotional and physical disabilities. This program includes a full range of supportive services.

Transitional Living . . .
Assisting Homeless Youth

We prepare homeless youth and young adults (ages 18 through 23) for successful transition from adolescence and dependency into adulthood and independence (e.g. mentoring, living arrangements, job placement, financila management, medical, care, continuing education, and vocational and technical training).

Independent Living . . .
Homeless Prevention, Aging-Out Youth

In order to prevent future homelessness and to prevent additional dependence on limited state resources, we provide housing and independent living skills for foster care youth who are preparing to age out of foster care.
