For young people experiencing homelessness or housing instability: We help with shelter, meals, basic needs, life goals, and more.
Rod’s House works to end youth homelessness in the Yakima Valley and Lower Valley.
We engage with volunteers, donors, and the community to help break the cycle of homelessness. Together, we can ensure young people’s basic human needs are met, that: they have a safe, stable home – permanent, positive connections – meaningful education and employment opportunities – behavioral and physical healthcare – all while supporting their individual abilities.

More Than Just a Bottle of Water
On a blistering hot day, a young person’s quiet gratitude reminded us why every simple need matters.
We’re deeply grateful to our grantors for supporting our mission to empower youth and young adults experiencing homelessness. Their investments help us provide vital resources like shelter, food, case management, and pathways to stability. These organizations change lives.
