About Us

Welcome to Chasing Hope House, a nonprofit organization based in Stark County, Ohio, dedicated to supporting teens and young adults who are navigating foster care, housing instability, and the transition to independence.

We serve youth ages 14–19, including those in foster care, youth at risk of homelessness, and young parents under the age of 19. Through a combination of residential and non-residential supports, we focus on meeting youth where they are and helping them build stability, confidence, and long-term self-sufficiency.

Our approach centers on life skills development, education support, mentorship, and access to essential resources—ensuring every young person has the tools and support needed to thrive during critical years of growth and transition.
Our Services

Our Services

We provide holistic, youth-centered services designed to support teens through education, independence, and housing stability.

Life Skills Training

We equip youth with practical skills needed for independent living, including:

  • Financial literacy and budgeting

  • Cooking, nutrition, and self-care

  • Job readiness and career planning

  • Time management and organization

Educational Support

We support youth who are actively enrolled in school by providing academic guidance, tutoring support, and connections to educational resources. Our goal is to help students stay engaged, succeed academically, and plan for graduation, college, or workforce pathways.

Mentorship Programs

Our mentorship programs connect youth with trusted adults and positive role models who offer guidance, encouragement, and consistency. Mentors support teens as they navigate personal challenges, goal-setting, and the transition to adulthood.

Counseling & Emotional Support

We recognize the emotional and mental health challenges faced by youth experiencing foster care involvement or housing instability. Through partnerships and referrals, we help connect youth to supportive services that promote healing, resilience, and emotional well-being.

Housing Assistance

We assist youth who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness by helping them navigate safe housing options and stability planning. Our residential and housing-focused supports prioritize safety, structure, and preparation for long-term independence.
