The Homeless Youth Initiative (HYI) is
a graduated transitional living program that assists homeless youth in
Baraga, Houghton, Keweenaw , Chippewa and Menominee Counties by providing
rental assistance, case management, and supportive services for
two-year period. All tenants must be actively seeking employment, attending
school, and/or participating in brief financial management training.
All youth applying for HYI services are screened and an individualized
service plan is created to address any needs that may prevent the youth from
sustaining housing. After the youth is placed, program staff maintains
regular contact with them and/or their landlords to promote good
tenant/landlord relations.
