The Oregon Trail Transitional Living program for ages 17 to 23 will be operated by the Youth Empowerment Shelter beginning July 1.  The Next Door has housed the program for over two decades, and has partnered with YES, which was founded in 2014 and operates the YES House which provides a shelter for ages 10 to 20 and other services.  The Next Door’s Youth Services team will continue to provide resource connection, referrals, and support services to youth that YES serves.  Next Door officials say the program’s transfer will allow each agency to focus on their respective areas of expertise.  The current Oregon Trail Transitional Living property will continue to be owned and managed by Columbia Cascade Housing Corporation.  Youth ages 17 to 23 that are currently, or at risk of becoming, houseless are eligible to apply for the program with YES.   For more information, email information@yeshelter.org or visit the agency’s website at www.yeshelter.org.
