Housing

Vita Nova Village

Vita Nova Village is our housing program for young adults ages 18-25 that have turned 18 in the foster care system, or young adults in the community who are homeless. The program is designed to assist young adults to learn to live independently while completing goals related to school and work. This is done by providing life skills classes for our participants, setting individual goals, and holding youth accountable for their successes and challenges. We provide support services that are on-and-off site. These include: Employment Coordination, Healthcare Coordination, Education Coordination (high school, college and vocational), Mental Health Services, Drug and Alcohol management referrals as well as Housing Coordination as young adults prepare to exit our program.


Our life skills program is based on five core areas. These are: financial literacy, social/emotional health, vocational training, educational planning and health & wellness. Our curriculum is hands-on, and uses real life circumstances. In this way we outline the need for skills related to banking and budgeting, interviewing skills, parenting skills, time management, organizational skills, educational support, employment training and information on community resources. We operate with a full-time Director and two full-time case managers that oversee programming and our residents.


Vita Nova Village is situated on a three building campus that encompasses 12 apartments with shared living room, kitchen and bath areas. Young adults complete an application as well as an interview process to determine if they are a good fit before they are considered for residency. We have capacity for up to 28 young adults in our two and three bedroom apartments.
