Emergency and Transitional Housing Program

Transition age youth (TAY) are generally described as people between the ages of 16 and 24. Their mental health needs are considerable and critical to every single thing that we do for the following reasons:

  1. This is the age at which most often the onset of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder occurs.
  2. This age group has the second highest suicide attempt rate (only the elderly have a higher rate.)
  3. Transition itself presents mental health challenges as people transition from a life of dependency on parents (natural or foster) to being independent adults.
  4. This is the group that is at highest risk for homelessness.
  5. This is the age that determines whether people become self sufficient, independent, successful, productive, members of society or fail and wind up dependent on various forms of support for many years.
  6. Those between the ages of 18 to 25 have the highest rate of being uninsured and thus the greatest difficulty in access to health care.

    7. This population in California is 37% Caucasian. It is 41% Latino, 12% Asian and Pacific Islander, 7% African American, 2% multiracial, and 1% Native American.

  7. This is a group that has been extremely difficult to engage and retain in traditional forms of mental health care.
  8. This age group is at highest risk for developing alcohol and substance abuse addiction.
  9. This is the age at which people first become parents, particularly the high risk births that are often associated with people with any other problems such as poverty, lack of a high school degree or mental health or substance abuse disorders.
