Youth Homelessness

Youth Shelter Update: It's Happening!

Fenix Youth Project Inc. is opening a youth shelter to offer emergency beds and transitional living services to unaccompanied youth between the ages of 17 - 24 on the Lower Eastern Shore. The 8 Bed facility, beautifully tucked in the woods of Quantico, MD will have a kitchen, living space, laundry room, handicapped accessible restrooms, and beautiful outdoor space. This facility is part of the Fenix Youth Project’s Rights of Passage Housing program which focuses on providing emergency housing to unaccompanied youth.
