The Brooks J. Young Home

The Brooks J. Young Transitional Housing Program serves homeless single women and women with children in Michigan. Eligible families may live in the home for up to two years. During this time, women and children receive the education, training, and spiritual support needed to move toward self-sufficiency and independent living.

Our team also provides advocacy, referrals to community resources, and ongoing follow-up support. Assessments and counseling are available for both women and children to help address the long-term effects of trauma connected to homelessness and domestic violence. Each client is supported in creating a realistic, step-by-step plan to reach her goals at her own pace.

Participants are encouraged to join a savings program and to consider homeownership as a future goal. Touching Heart also provides aftercare services for each family as they transition out of the program.

Those who successfully complete the program may be eligible to receive a 100% match up to $1,000 through the Brooks J. Young Scholarship Program.

Program Launch: Summer 2026 (Michigan)
