Every Snohomish County young person carries a world of dreams and potential within them, yet for many youth, the journey to realizing those dreams is overshadowed by a harsh reality – homelessness. Cocoon House’s Connections Host Home program provides a stable, short-term, and nurturing environment to empower these young folks to move beyond mere survival. It gives them the security they need to focus on their dreams. Will you join us in creating a space of empowerment for our youth? Learn more here: www.cocoonhouse.org/host-homes
