- Safe and affordable housing
- Goal-based support plans
- Education and career guidance
- Independent living skill development
- Mentorship and accountability

Youth contribute toward their own expenses while learning budgeting, responsibility, and long-term stability.
This program is helping young adults move from crisis management toward confident independent living.
Current Program Outcomes
Monai Village has served 11 youth in our community.
- 2 youth successfully moved on to their next step
- 7 youth currently remain in the program
- Participants are working, seeking work, or attending education/career programs
- Several participants have maintained stable housing for one year or longer.

Our Vision
We aim to build a 40-unit, fourplex-style residential community on 6–10 acres of land.
This village will provide affordable housing along with access to vocational training, life skills education, and a supportive community. Our mission is to prevent homelessness and ensure young people have the tools and resources they need to thrive — including access to basic needs services that increase mental stability and long-term success.
How It Will Work
We will house 6–12 youth in apartment units within a community complex. This transitional living program teaches independence, accountability, and financial responsibility — all while providing a stable, supportive environment.
Youth contribute toward rent, utilities, and personal expenses based on their individual circumstances, helping them build financial responsibility and money-management skills. Monai Village’s average cost to provide housing and supportive services is approximately $1,100 per youth each month.
