WE PROVIDE OUTREACH TOO!

———————————————————

We also understand that some youth are currently struggling with homelessness or may not have the support from a trauma-informed and harm reduction lenses. Therefore, Kahkike Homes is now offering outreach to high-risk youth aged 12-18, who may also have the opportunity to reside in the home. Furthermore, we offer outreach to youth aged 18-22 to provide additional support to their pre-existing service team. As noted above, we believe healing for youth can start once a relationship is built.
