YouthHarbors serves homeless and unaccompanied high school students, and a select group of college students from our four participating public colleges who are homeless or facing housing instability at our K-House program in Malden. By providing comprehensive support—including rental assistance, housing search help, and life skills workshops—YouthHarbors ensures that these students can focus on their education and future success rather than mere survival.
The program meets each student where they are, offering personalized, wrap-around services that address their immediate and long-term needs.

YouthHarbors begins by identifying high school students who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Eligibility for the program is based solely on being unaccompanied and homeless.
Once immediate shelter needs are met, YouthHarbors staff work to find stable, long-term housing for the student, which could involve housing with extended family, friends, suitable roommates, or occasionally with a host family.
YouthHarbors offers personalized workshops tailored to each student’s needs, which may include:
Clients typically stay in the program for 6 to 12 months, after which they are eligible for alumni services.
