Programs

AYA’s Housing department provides services for both homeless and unstably housed youth and their families. We can provide short-term financial assistance with rent and utilities for youth and their families. All services start with an application process, and our transitional living programs require background checks. We have several Emergency, Transitional, and Supportive Housing options available in Coos County:

• Recapture House
• Pallet Shelters
• Host Home Program

AYA’s Education department’s mission is to provide a supportive and inclusive learning environment through a holistic approach that empowers students to reach their full potential.

Educational programs include:

• High School / Credit Recovery Program
• Coos County GED Drop Site
• Curry County GED Drop Site
• Adulting Class

AYA’s Workforce department can assist low-income youth between the ages of 16-24 with job placement, support services, comprehensive guidance and counseling, adult mentoring, assisted job search, secondary and post-secondary education options and support, and one year of follow up services after exit.
