About the Matthews House

The Matthews House is a 501(c)3 organization that serves at-risk youth ages 16-21 that lack significant family support in their lives. We work to create opportunities for positive life change for these youth as they make the transition to living on their own..

Many of these youth have not had the influence of a stable caring adult and they frequently do not have the skills necessary for living independently, retaining a job, solving problems, managing money and building solid relationships. Without these skills, many will re-enter the justice or human services systems as adults.

The Matthews House believes that, given the correct resources and support, these youth can take control of their lives and shape positive futures for themselves.

The Matthews House strives to fill the current gap in services for at-risk youth transitioning to adulthood by providing the resources and support necessary to empower these youth to take control of their lives, shape positive futures for themselves and become successful contributors to their community.

The Matthews House focuses on five main areas to help these youth on the road to self-sufficiency. These areas are:

1) Safe and Affordable Housing,

2) Physical & Mental Health,

3) Employment,

4) Education, and

5) Interpersonal & Social Skills.

In addition to these skills and perhaps most importantly, each youth is surrounded with a community of support, including an adult mentor.
