The Rising Tide
Steadfast is also a supporter of The
Rising Tide, who in association with non-profit organizations
acquires apartment communities in Orange County, Ca and sets aside
a portion of the units for use by young people recently emancipated
from the county social services system.
The program addresses the needs of young people who have been living
in group homes or foster care and have just turned 18, at which
point they are emancipated from the social services system. With
little financial means, job training or educational opportunities,
these young adults are provided with transitional housing for up
to 12-24 months through this program. In addition, they receive
job training, mentoring, and education in life skills to assist them in making their own way in life.
