The Place

The Place ignites the potential in youth to exit homelessness and create self-determined fulfilled lives.

At The PLACE, we believe every young person deserves safety, belonging, and the chance to build a life they choose, not one defined by circumstance. As the only organization in the Pikes Peak region solely focused on youth homelessness, The PLACE provides a full continuum of care that helps young people exit homelessness and create self-determined, fulfilling lives.

Our Programs

  • Street Outreach – Meeting youth where they are with compassion, resources, and pathways to stability.
  • Drop-In Center – A welcoming daytime space offering meals, showers, laundry, case management, and connection to vital services.
  • Housing Programs – Safe and supportive options ranging from short-term transitional housing to supportive living, helping youth build stability and independence.
  • Education & Employment – Equipping youth with the tools, skills, and confidence to pursue meaningful work and self-sufficiency.

Why It Matters
Every night, young people in our community are navigating life without a safe place to sleep, yet each one holds tremendous potential. The PLACE exists to help them uncover that potential, connect with caring adults, and take the next step toward a brighter future.
