Homelessness is more than a lack of shelter and represents the visible fault line transmitted by multiple traumatic forces. Each child bears a unique story of pain, often unspeakable and typically faces a harsh and almost unimaginable existence within the Sacramento community.
These young people have been failed by the adults and the systems that were supposed to protect them. Some are second or third generation homeless. Others are million dollar group home kids that end up homeless as an 18th birthday present.
We can't undo their histories, but we can help homeless children shape a healthy future by lifting them out of the downward spiral of the streets. At WIND Youth Services, we engage youth experiencing homelessness who need safety from the streets and access to resources to help them move from street life and into healthy functioning and independence through our four main programs:
WIND Center
WIND Educational Program
WIND Crisis Youth Shelter
WIND Outreach Program
