They could be couch-surfing, packed into an apartment without a lease, or living in a car. For Loudoun County youth (up to age 24) who are unstably housed or homeless, Mobile Hope is there to provide wraparound care and support. Offered at its Leesburg campus and via a fleet of five vehicles, its homelessness prevention program helps kids in precarious housing cover basic needs (food, clothing, hygiene care) and prepare for safe, independent lives – help with SAT fees, classes in money management, aid in securing employment. Youth who literally have no roof over their heads receive emergency shelter, long-term housing support, and case management to address mental health and substance abuse issues. Trading up, a new school, provides opportunities to acquire skills, apprenticeships, and trade certifications. Last year, 408 homeless or at-risk youth found shelter, a stable home, or support through Mobile Hope.
