For many young people, it is the first place they turn when they experience homelessness, and it is where safety and healing take root. We meet each guest where they are and walk beside them as they take their next steps forward.<\/p>\n\t<p>In 2021, ROOTS took a historic step by purchasing our first permanent home in the University District. After more than twenty years on 43rd Street, this move gave us the stability to keep serving young adults with dignity and care.<\/p>\n<p>By 2025, we fully paid off our new home and began major renovations to make the space even safer, more welcoming, and better equipped for the future. This milestone represents more than ownership. It reflects lasting security for the hundreds of young people who come through our doors each year seeking warmth, support, and connection.<\/p>\n<p>Our guests deserve more than a bed. They deserve a community that believes in their potential and invests in their future. At ROOTS, we are building that future together, one night, one guest, and one home at a time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/rootsinfo.org\/es\/capitol-campaign\/\" title=\"Be a part of what comes next\" target=\"_self\"   role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Be a part of what comes next\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBe a part of what comes next\n\t\t<\/a>\n<figure data-animation-delay=\".5\" data-animation-duration=\"1\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rootsinfo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/roots_collage_1a.png\" alt=\"roots_collage_1a\" height=\"716\" width=\"1182\" title=\"roots_collage_1a\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tBuilding Belonging\t<\/h2>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tRoots News\t<\/h2>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rootsinfo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/scribble_1a_orange_-scaled.png\" alt=\"scribble_1a_orange_\" height=\"274\" width=\"2560\" title=\"scribble_1a_orange_\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/rootsinfo.org\/es\/2026\/04\/15\/what-a-night-at-roots-stories-from-the-frontlines-of-shelter-work\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"What a Night at ROOTS: Stories from the Frontlines of Shelter Work\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rootsinfo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/bb-plugin\/cache\/rootsdrawing-custom_crop.webp\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/rootsinfo.org\/es\/2026\/04\/15\/what-a-night-at-roots-stories-from-the-frontlines-of-shelter-work\/\" title=\"What a Night at ROOTS: Stories from the Frontlines of Shelter Work\">What a Night at ROOTS: Stories from the Frontlines of Shelter Work<\/a>\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEvery night at ROOTS Young Adult Shelter is different.
