Mission
Build Futures provides immediate, essential services to help forgotten and abandoned youth return to society. And with our job training and housing programs our youth have a 73% success rate keeping off the streets. To never turn away a homeless youth who needs help in Orange County Build Futures exists to move homeless, transitional-aged (18- to 24-year-old) youth from the streets to safe, stable housing, while providing the services, resources, and support they need to develop long-term independence. We work relentlessly to help every homeless youth who comes to us prepare for the workplace and move into full-time employment, and we have a vision of permanently ending youth homelessness in Orange County. Build Futures was established in 2009 to assist transitional-aged homeless youth in Orange County because we know this population faces unique challenges that are not addressed by existing homeless support organizations. In order to support our homeless youth population in making the overwhelming changes necessary to find stability in society, Build Futures has developed an innovative program to support them on their challenging path to independence.
