YES to One Home: 50 Years of Empowering Youth
YES has been the Omaha metro leader in addressing youth homelessness since 1974. For 5 decades, we have led the charge of breaking the cycle of homelessness for youth and young adults, helping thousands create a better future for themselves. We’ve continued to adapt to our ever-changing times and cater our services to what youth need today.
Well, the time has come for us to adapt again.
YES has 9 locations spread across the Omaha metro. As you can imagine, this is an inefficient way to operate. With rising rent prices, it became clear a few years ago that a change was needed. We explore many options before landing on this Campus project that emphasizes our commitment to trauma-informed prevention-focused services for youth in crisis.
