Project Title: Building Bright Futures at Our House: Support for Homeless and Near-Homeless Youth
Project Description:
Our House provides wrap-around services to homeless and near-homeless families and individuals in Central Arkansas to remove barriers to success and empower our clients on a path to stability and well-being.
Founded in 1987 to address a critical gap in services for homeless families in Central Arkansas, Our House now serves 3,000 clients annually. Our seven-acre campus functions as a one-stop shop, offering housing, long-term case management, adult education and career services, physical and mental health care, an early childhood education center, and an out-of-school time program. This comprehensive, two-generation approach supports children and parents together to build stable, nurturing homes.
To address the unique challenges students face while experiencing homelessness, Our House operates an out of school time program that serves Kindergarten through 12th grade students, year-round, offering youth development programming including academic enrichment, tutoring and homework help, mental health counseling, primary care through an on-site clinic and family support. Our Club is the only program in the state designed specifically to serve homeless and near-homeless youth. During the 2024-2025 school year and 2025 summer, Our Club served 197 students in the Little Rock area.
We request an investment of $10,000 to continue providing critical services that address the academic and social emotional challenges that affect homeless children and equip them with the resources and confidence they need to succeed in school and life.
