The risk factors for facing homelessness as a young adult are as varied as the people we serve, and include:
The combination of single occupancy tiny homes wrapped around a main central home gives participants both ownership of space and easy access to community.
Ten participants will move into newly constructed tiny homes while two participants and the house manager live in the existing residence. This design provides a balance of privacy and opportunities for community building. The decision to use tiny homes was founded on the desire to provide a safe and welcoming space for all of our participants, as congregate living can create uncomfortable situations for young adults.
Each dwelling is a beautiful and safe space to build a foundation for the future.
A stable place to call home is essential; however, it is insufficient on its own to promote overall wellness. Mesa provides a trauma-informed program that supports the whole person. Mesa's program includes therapeutic interventions, mental health supports, educational opportunities, vocational training, and community-based work, all while working towards permanent housing .
No person is the same, so our program shouldn’t look the same for each participant. Each young adult’s life history, current needs, and desires for the future help to shape their personal program design.
This unique location will be developed with our participants to discover the profound healing power of connecting with the earth and the therapeutic potential of regenerative agriculture.
