Youth Single Room Occupancy Volunteers of America's Single Room Occupancy offers a real solution to one of our community's most difficult problems- homelessness. This program is the only facility of its kind in the city offering permanent housing to the growing numbers of homeless persons. Volunteers of America opened the 22,000 sq. Each resident lives in his own fully furnished apartment and has use of group kitchens and nearby private baths.
Residents prepare their own meals and come and go as they wish.
There are group areas for socializing and meetings. The atmosphere is comfortable and secure, allowing for privacy and for all-important interaction with others. Residents may stay as long as they need to recover. The first priority is to ensure that residents receive chemical dependency counseling at centers in the community. After this goal is achieved, the staff nurture each resident to continue recovery.
