Your monthly donation gives a bed to a young person on the streets.

The Home Team ensures young people have a place to sleep at night by giving $25 or more each month to sponsor a bed in The Nest – that’s why they’re the team youth can count on for a home.

This is Jayo.

A little more than a year ago, Jayo was unemployed with no place to stay at night. Thanks to the support of monthly donors like the Home Team, he got a bed in The Nest, our 15-bed transitional shelter.

He began working as a Street Bean apprentice and eventually found a second job with a local retailer. Having a bed to come home to every night and a community that believed in him didn’t give Jayo goals – it just made achieving his goals a reality.

He’s now living in his own apartment and working two jobs, using his free time to write and record his own music. Because The Nest was a stepping stone off the streets and into a new season of life, he no longer has to spend his nights on the streets – he simply goes home.

This is the kind of story the Home Team makes possible.

What Home Team Members Are Saying

Youth programs have always been of interest to us. We give because young people face many challenges today even when they are in stable family situations, but especially when families are dysfunctional or not present.
We give because New Horizons' mission is focused on a very vulnerable group of youth that need an advocate and friend.
New Horizons fills a void for many young people on the streets navigating life without a family support system.

How Youth Have Been Impacted in the Nest

My life is different now [after graduating from The Nest]. I have housing and am moving forward as an adult.

The donors who give to make The Nest shelter possible are and will always be my heroes.

Anonymous Nest resident
My favorite things about The Nest are the people there, the serious & beautiful opportunity it gives, and the safety it offers.

Buzzy, former Nest resident
I have been through a lot and continue to go through a lot, but this shelter, having somewhere I can safely go at night, is one of the biggest blessings I could've asked for.

Katie, former Nest resident
The Nest provides structure, which motivates you to keep working on your goals. I like that I can relax on the couch, work on my music, watch movies from time to time, get a shower whenever I want.

You can make it possible.

It’s really that simple.

There are over 1,500 youth in Seattle who have no place to call home on a daily basis. The Home Team works to ensure one young person at a time will have a safe, warm place to sleep at New Horizons in The Nest.
