Prevention and Intervention

 

Experiencing Homelessness or Worried About Losing your Housing? supporting someone else who is?

The Sacramento Prevention and Intervention Team (SacYAPI) works hard to support folks ages 12-24 who may be experiencing any kind of housing instability or homelessness. Through system navigation, landlord/roommate mediation, warm hand-offs to appropriate services, family reunification, application and referral assistance, support connecting vouchers to housing, and other creative solutions, SacYAPI strives to advocate for and guide youth towards greater housing stability and healing.

It all started when…

Sacramento’s Young Adult Prevention and Intervention Program (SacYAPI) launched in March 2018 when Waking the Village (WTV), Lutheran Social Services (LSS), and Wind Youth Services envisioned a new program to move upstream in addressing youth homelessness. The team has continued to expand and shift over the years, and currently includes specialized prevention and intervention teams in continued partnership with WTV and LSS. We believe that through our collaborative efforts, and fueled by the work of SacYAPI, our Community will achieve functional zero in youth homelessness.
