This program is a collaboration between Spectrum and Burlington Housing Authority. All youth enter into an individual housing lease and are responsible for paying an adjusted amount of rent based on income. The Pearl Street residence has private individual rooms, shared bathrooms, common kitchen and dining areas, and living rooms.
The program helps residents develop independent living skills and provides a bridge to self-reliant living through a structured and supportive community. Spectrum’s transitional housing program serves youth ages 18-23 formerly in foster care but who have aged out and are in need of housing. Formerly called the shelter, the Landing provides safety, basic needs, resources, and support for youth while they develop a plan to address their immediate needs, future goals and permanent housing. Youth who are successful at the Landing have the option to move to our Transitional Housing. Each room has two beds, and residents share a common living, kitchen, and dining area. The Landing is a short-term housing option for homeless youth ages 16-23. Youth in need of shelter may come by the Parish Hall entrance starting at 6 PM each night. The shelter operates in the basement of St. Spectrum’s youth warming shelteris a 10-bed, temporary shelter for youth ages 18-24. Spectrum Youth & Family Services' mission: to empower teenagers, young adults, and their families to make and sustain positive changes through prevention, intervention, and life skills services.
