Gary Dunlap+FollowDenver youth shelter faces surging demandUrban Peak’s new Denver shelter, built to be a safe haven for youth ages 12-24, is seeing its waitlist grow fast after two other Colorado youth shelters closed. Teens and young adults are coming from all over the state, hoping for a spot in a place designed to feel more like home than a shelter. The need is so high that the shelter has been full since day one, and staff say the pressure is only rising. With more than 90% of residents moving on to safe housing, it’s clear these spaces make a real difference. What can we do as a community to support these young people? #Safety #Denver #YouthHomelessness00Share
Gary Dunlap+FollowBaltimore’s bold new step for homeless youthA major change is coming for young people facing homelessness in Baltimore: Springboard Community Services is building a huge new center downtown, offering not just a safe place to stay, but real opportunities to build a future. The 25,000-square-foot facility will include transitional housing and a restaurant for job training—something no other Maryland city has. For many, like James and Jernard, Springboard is more than shelter; it’s a lifeline and a place to belong. With youth homelessness on the rise, how can our community rally to support and expand these efforts? #Safety #Baltimore #YouthHomelessness00Share
