For 25 years, Avenues for Youth has supported youth ages 16-24 in Hennepin County. Whether a young person needs someplace to stay for just one night, or a year and a half, Avenues empowers youth to find their path out of homelessness. They do this by providing a stable home, building trusting relationships, and navigating the youth’s education, career, health and wellness and housing goals. Avenues for Youth operates 2 transitional and long-term living shelters as well as 3 community-based programs, notably including ConneQT, the LGBTQ+ in-home hosting model that pairs vulnerable youth with culturally-sensitive families.
