Eddie’s House open doors for young adults who are willing to make the changes that are needed to break down barriers and achieve independence and successful personal achievements.

As many young adults in the foster care system age out at 18 years old they are unprepared for their role in Life. They carry a spark and a desire but no resources. They are lost, faceless and homeless.

• 25% have endured some form of homelessness.
• 46% have not completed high school.
• 60% have not maintained employment for a year.
• 29% have/had substance abuse problems.
• 32.6% of females have been pregnant.  

At Eddie's House, we have a Vision — to allow our youth to move from abandonment to independent and successful living, with hope for their future.

Our mission is to provide knowledge, caring and support to inspire our youth so they may find their own self-respect, self-worth and sense of belonging.

Eddie's House is a safety net and nurturing environment for young people leaving foster care at 18 or 21 and without family or other support system. Our program is built on respect and caring to enable their transition from Foster Care to independence. Our trained staff and volunteers will encourage them and assist with the necessities of health, safe housing, education and employment training. They will learn to pay their bills, finish high school or obtain a GED, apply for student loans, get a job and live independently.

We seek youth that have a spark and desire that we can nurture and a willingness to learn and accept an agreement of fairness, understanding and responsibility.
