Accomplishments
In late 2010, YouthLink took a major leap forward with the opening of the Youth Opportunity Center (YOC). With funding from Hennepin County, we renovated our building to host and operate this brand new innovative service model, which opened in 2011, as part of Hennepin County’s Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness. Over 3,330 contacts were made with youth on the streets providing basic needs services, resource information, transportation assistance and informal counseling. 1,805 youth were served at the YOC. This was a 33.5% of unduplicated youth served and a 25% increase in daily visits compared to 2010. 194 youth were served by 143 units of housing.
Current Goals
• Reduce the incidence of sustained chronic homelessness among Minneapolis and other Twin Cities youth
• Inspire systemic change in the delivery of services to homeless, precariously housed and marginalized youth in the Twin Cities by collaboratively leveraging existing resources to improve both the
effectiveness and the efficiency of service delivery.
• Improve the physical and mental health and wellness of homeless, precariously housed and marginalized youth
