What particularly attracted me to 3:11 was the mentorship model of youth housing that they use. I believe that the basic need of housing can create the foundation for much growth. By providing both the foundation and the resources for these young people, 3:11 is creating a sustainable solution for this crisis. It has been a joy to work with them and I look forward to helping them further their goals including opening two new homes in the next two years.

I have been deeply impacted by this idea from Frederick Buechner: “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” 3:11 is beautifully loving and walking alongside the homeless youth in Grand Rapids, providing them both belonging and safety. I’m thrilled to be a part of it.

3:11 has employed a unique and effective model to serve the youth in Grand Rapids that have no home and need assistance. I am excited to have the opportunity, through 3:11, to serve and meet the needs of youth who are experiencing homelessness.

I am really excited about the impact 3:11 is having on youth currently living in the 3:11 home, as well as the projected growth, and the impact we can have on many more youth in the Grand Rapids area. 3:11 is now partnering with several other organizations which will allow us to grow significantly in the next few years and to provide housing for many more youth.

I believe that housing is foundational. The demands of the modern world are steep, and we can only meet them if we have some level of stability in our lives. This means having a place to call home. Homelessness among young adults can be utterly debilitating, and its effects can ripple through an entire life, hindering one's educational, social, and professional endeavors. I love and support the work of 3:11 Youth Housing because it provides homeless young adults with a stable home and the support they need to grow, and ultimately to thrive.

I've built friendships with several people who have been homeless in our church, but there is something particularly tragic about teenagers and young adults who aren't launching well into adult life. I believe that 3:11 Youth Housing has a strong model to support these youth as they learn the skills needed for healthy lives.
