Haus of Codec

Haus of Codec is providing a safe shelter space for youth ages 18 – 24 to call home and help them find their own, more permanent housing solutions and workforce development opportunities. The shelter space is complete with a food and clothing pantry, self-service kitchen, access to essential services through partner providers, and a sense of community where there wasn’t one before.

Haus of Codec is Currently at capacity due to the overwhelming need of emergency shelter beds for Transition Age Youth ages 18 – 24. If you are seeking shelter, please complete our Waitlist Survey by Clicking Here and a member of Haus of Codec will reach out as soon as a bed is available. Thank you.
