A host home is a place where youth can stay temporarily and receive mentoring and guidance. Staircase is looking for individuals willing to provide housing for a youth.
"I work hard to create an environment free from judgement where youth can express their feelings and be open and honest and feel secure and safe. In Mason County I work with at-risk youth ages 12-17 and in Lake County I work with all ages of youth from 12-21 years old"
