Host home providers offer a room in their home to an unaccompanied high school student who is struggling with housing instability. This is a longer-term commitment (a few months to 1 year, sometimes longer if desired) to investing in a youth striving to finish high school, GED, or community college, but facing personal and systemic barriers. There are no parenting expectations of the home provider. This is a landlord-tenant arrangement at the most basic level. We ask home providers to offer housing, food, and a caring adult presence. Students cannot pay cash rent, but they can help with some household responsibilities.
Second Home students commit to staying on track in school, remaining drug- and alcohol-free, and meeting mutually agreed upon household expectations laid out in a rental agreement. Local mediation programs provide services to build the rental agreement with both the home provider and the student. When a student moves on from the program they then have a rental history that a future landlord can reference.
Home providers are always needed in the school districts of Washington, Clackamas, East Multnomah, and Lincoln Counties.
