Jaxon’s Story

December, 2023

Jaxon had been staying at his girlfriend’s house while he was finishing high school. After graduating, he wasn’t ready to live on his own. A HOPE 4 Youth Case Manager was able to create a Host Homes arrangement for two months. Our Host Home program allowed Jaxon to stay with a safe and supportive adult while receiving support from a Case Manager to prepare him for living on his own. After exploring different options with his Case Manager, Jaxon expressed interest in our HOPE Place Program. Through coordination and communication between Case Managers, Jaxon was able to move into HOPE Place. While living at HOPE Place Jaxon passed his permit test, is practicing for his license, and acquired a full-time job. Jaxon is thriving at HOPE Place!
