Housing Scholarship Program
A Housing Scholarship resident gets the keys to her apartment from former Executive Director, Dale Schumacher.
If you do not have a safe place to live, are homeless, or are at risk of becoming homeless, Youth Outreach staff can help you sign up for our Housing Scholarship Program. You will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire that helps us identify housing resources and options and your name will be added to the community waiting list.
Our Housing Scholarship Program (HSP) gives you a chance to make a big leap in reaching your long term goals of finishing your education or working your way to a better job so that you can pay for housing yourself.
Our Commitment to You:
- The Learning Web will pay the security deposit, monthly rent and utility charges for your apartment for 12 months.
- The Learning Web will pay for basic household furniture and supplies to set up your apartment.
