Welcome to YaYAS of Citrus, Inc!
We are a shelter serving youth and young adults experiencing homelessness, aged 16-24 with residential and drop-in services. We provide a safe place to sleep, shower, study, and store belongings paired with case management services with the goal of promoting self-sustainability.
We are disrupting the cycle of homelessness by catching young people before they have a chance to fail, proving the opportunity for them to stabilize , and then guiding them with wraparound services, case management, access to community resources, and scaffolded tiers of support so they can achieve their educational and career goals to become self-sufficient, contributing members of our community.
