One Way Love

Youth who are homeless or unable to safely remain in their homes can count on us to provide safe, comfortable, effective services and keep them out of the child welfare system.

Studies show that 50% of adolescents aging out of foster care and juvenile justice systems will be homeless within six months because they are unprepared to live independently and have limited education and no social support. We want to break this cycle of homelessness through the comprehensive services we offer.

Our mission

The bravery to acknowledge those in pain, the fortitude to empathize with the sorrow of others, and the audacity to take action when others hesitate.

Possessing the courage to recognize and acknowledge those who are suffering is a vital step in offering support and understanding. Having the strength to genuinely feel and share the sadness experienced by others enables us to connect on a deeper level, fostering empathy and compassion. Furthermore, demonstrating the determination to act when others remain passive allows us to become agents of positive change, making a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most, and ultimately contributing to a more caring and connected world.

Our goals

To break the cycle of homelessness.

To provide shelter and safety to the vulnerable and abandoned.

To help youth live up to their potential, and see the potential inside themselves.
