Step Onward Foundation

The Step Onward Foundation is a community-based organization that is dedicated to helping provide health and wellness funds, resources, higher education, housing and mentorship to young adults who have survived homelessness in childhood. In 2016 we also created a fund for children whose families are at risk of homelessness due to hospitalization with acute or possibly terminal illness. Childhood homelessness is a national epidemic that causes long term effects within our community. An alarming number of these children who grow up as either wards of the state, foster children, or children with extremely at risk families become homeless in early adulthood. You Can Help Us! Donating your time and money aids us in educating the public as well as housing and educating homeless youth, thereby connecting everyone with the knowledge and tools to end homelessness in young adult survivors. The Step Onward Foundation’s Mission is to bridge the gaps that exists between organizations that serve the underage homeless, and the young adults who are attempting to grow within this system. In most cases, the existing system can no longer support them. We are committed to helping these young adults continue to grow and flourish, to create a sustainable life with a positive direction.
