About
My Friend’s Place
For 33 years and counting, My Friend’s Place has been
assisting and inspiring youth experiencing homelessness
to build self-sufficient lives.
From our early beginnings as a volunteer-based
group serving meals from the trunks of cars to
the dynamic resource center we operate today,
My Friend’s Place offers a comprehensive
continuum of services to 1,000 youth
experiencing homelessness between the ages
of 12 and 25, and their children, each year,
helping our young people who are experiencing
homelessness to move toward wellness, stability
and self-sufficiency.
JEDI Vision
My Friend’s Place recognizes homelessness as a
social, racial and economic justice issue. As such,
we are resolute in our commitment to uplift all
youth experiencing homelessness while rigorously,
continuously, and concretely aligning our trauma-
informed service delivery and organizational
framework with guiding principles of Justice, Equity,
Diversity and Inclusion.
