The goal of ME Inc. Housing is to provide safe, supportive living environments that empower youth to overcome crisis, develop life skills, and transition toward independent, healthy futures.
Every young person deserves the chance to grow up in a safe, loving environment. Yet for many youth, circumstances such as family conflict, homelessness, or involvement with child services can jeopardize their well-being and future. That’s where our Housing Program steps in—providing the security, resources, and support needed to help them heal, grow, and thrive.
Respite Care for Girls in Crisis
When conflict at home escalates to a crisis, immediate intervention is crucial. Our Respite Care Unit offers a short-term sanctuary for girls who need urgent removal from unsafe conditions, helping prevent domestic violence situations and child welfare cases.
In this nurturing 24-hour setting, we focus on:
-
Crisis Intervention: Addressing immediate needs to ensure safety and stability
-
Mental Health Assessments: Identifying concerns early and linking girls to the right care
-
Mediation Services: Working with families to resolve conflicts and foster healthier communication
-
Reunification Support: Creating a path toward safely returning home whenever possible
Transitional Housing for Youth Aging Out of Foster Care
For boys and girls nearing adulthood, transitioning out of foster care can be daunting. Our long-term Transitional Housing provides a stable, supportive environment where youth receive the guidance and resources they need to establish a solid footing in adulthood.
We offer:
-
Life Skills Training: Budgeting, job readiness, and community engagement
-
Educational and Career Pathways: Assistance with enrolling in trade programs or college
-
Emotional and Social Support: Mentoring and peer-to-peer connections
-
Community Integration: Tools and networks that help young adults become thriving members of their communities
