StandOut Transitional Housing, by Breaking Barriers to Build Purpose, provides safe, supportive housing for young women transitioning out of foster care and single mothers working toward independence. Our program combines life skills training, career readiness, and personal development to help each resident build stability and long-term success. We empower young women to break barriers, rebuild confidence, and stand out as strong, self-sufficient leaders in their communities.

We provide the bridge between foster care and full independence.

"Studies show that nearly 50% of youth who age out of the foster system experience homelessness within 18 months."

We provide guidance and support so young mothers can thrive, not just survive.

"Among young women who age out of foster care, approximately 70% become pregnant by age 21."

We open doors to education so dreams don’t stop at high school.

“Less than 5% of young people who age out of foster care earn a four-year college degree at any point in their lives.”

Our goal is to help every resident develop the confidence, skills, and support network needed to live independently — breaking barriers and building purpose along the way.

Voices of the press

"When I first came to StandOut Transitional Housing, I was lost and tired of starting over. The house gave me more than a place to sleep — it gave me structure, support, and people who believed in me. Through life-skills sessions and goal setting, I learned how to budget, cook, and prepare for independence. Now, I’m working, saving, and planning to move into my own apartment soon. I finally believe I can build the future I want."
