New Program in Georgia Fast-Tracks Homeless Youth into Housing & Stability
In this deeply informative episode, Blake returns to Open Arms in Albany, Georgia, to capture the full vision and scope of a groundbreaking project: the Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program (YHDP). Backed by a HUD grant, this program is the only one of its kind in South Georgia dedicated to prevention-first outreach for youth experiencing or at risk of homelessness. From bus passes and childcare to mental health support and substance abuse treatment, this episode covers how Open Arms is accelerating outcomes—often moving youth from homelessness to stability in under 24 hours. Blake and the Open Arms team unpack the long-standing problems youth face—unstable housing, broken families, generational poverty—and how this new program offers not just shelter, but opportunity, education, mentorship, and dignity.
