$1 a day 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 $40 or more each month (that’s a little over a $1 a day) to sponsor a bed in The Nest – that’s why they’re the team youth can count on for a home.
Join NowThis 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
One dollar a day. One bed for one person.
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. Members give $40 a month (or more) to come alongside more young people and lay the foundation for long-term sustainability.
