Our GREAT (Growth, Resilience, Empowerment, Acceptance, Trust) Youth and Families Program (GYFP) provides academic support services to children in low-income families, diminishing the likelihood of children experiencing homelessness later in life. With offerings from summer camps to after school programs, our academic and tutoring resources can help set low-income families with children up for success. Our academic programming is trauma-informed, and closely integrated with our wellness offerings, though students do not need to participate in other Housing Families programs to be considered for our GYFP offerings.

I’m thankful for all that I have and I’m proud of my children. My children have been in GYFP since kindergarten…everyone at GYFP was always helpful and always supportive. No judgment. My children are happy and well-adjusted coming to GYFP. My son and daughter both want to go to college. GYFP saved my life.
