Rare Breed is a central hub that provides immediate access to basic human needs and rapid access to community services for homeless and at-risk youth ages 13-24. Rare Breed uses the drop-in center model to foster a safe, welcoming, low-barrier environment for youth to access crucial services. Rare Breed is conveniently located near public transportation to provide ease of access to Rare Breed and other community resources. Youth homelessness is unique because young people are still developing. Our staff is trained to work with youth to build life skills that will help them go on to lead healthy, independent lives.
