The NEST provides shelter for unhoused youth aged 18-24 for up to 90 days. While at the NEST, residents are connected with resources to promote a transition to permanent housing solutions. Residents at the NEST also are encouraged to utilize additional supportive services through the Youth Opportunity (YO!) program.

We accept referrals from Baltimore City’s Coordinated Entry Line.
