Providing the Key to Youth Success

Our mission is to enable homeless youth ages 18 to 24 to become independent, contributing members of our community by connecting them to stable housing, wraparound services, a trusted one on one supportive relationship and a customized self-sufficiency plan.

• Build Futures assists youth as they move from surviving on the streets to a future free from homelessness and poverty.
• Over 5400 high school students in Orange County public schools are homeless; upon exiting the school system, most of these children continue to be homeless and thus begins the transition from homeless children to homeless youth.  We as a community need to fix this problem!
• A commitment to youth this age is a commitment to prevention. If left on the streets, these youth become the chronically homeless, criminals, welfare mothers, prostitutes, drug addicts, alcoholics and gang members. With this model the whole community benefits.

Build Futures is passionate about ending youth homelessness. We are asking each of you to become believers in us and in the power of our programs to end youth homelessness and stop this generation from becoming the next generation of chronically homeless adults.
