How To Create a Successful School-Based Host Home Program

We worked with our partners in Northfield and Grand Rapids, Minnesota to compile the resources, best practices and learnings implementing school-based host homes in this free 16-page guidebook. Point Source Youth created this guidebook with the goal of you writing in it, adding to it, sharing it, or using it as a doorstop when you’re helping a young person move into their host home. This is your tool! Enjoy the handbook and, of course, the journey!
