Since then, the organization’s reach has rapidly expanded to encompass 14 counties across Central, Northeast and Southeast Pennsylvania. Valley Youth House now has over 300 residential facilities and on any given night over 700 youth and families have a place to call home. Valley Youth House supports young people who are experiencing homelessness, housing insecurity, and loss of family connections to achieve healthy and independent futures.
