3 Years of Impact — And Growing
20 residents supported since 2022, including 22 children
5 babies born through the program (2 more on the way)
66 program hours per week = 3,432 hours of support every year

Expanded SHYP2 program to provide ongoing support for moms and young parents
Every milestone tells the story of a young parent finding stability, hope, and a future. The SHYP program is working — and demand is growing. With participants more than doubling, we now need to double our donor support to keep pace.
