The Youth Focus Transitional Living Program serves young women ages 16 to 21 who are homeless and who, because of their special needs, require additional assistance to allow them to achieve independence. This project provides services exclusively to young women who are pregnant or parenting a young child or other females in need of transitional living services. Priority is given to Guilford County residents meeting these requirements who are able to function with a low level of supervision. Residential services are provided in two group living facilities operated by Youth Focus and in a scattered site housing program. Services to these young women include professional counseling for any emotional problems they may possess, drug and alcohol counseling if necessary, vocational/educational training, parent education services and independent living skills training.

To apply for admission, contact Karen Bridges at 336-841-6083 and complete an application for service: APPLICATION
