So many of the youth and young adults in the LGBTQI+ community will find themselves experiencing homelessness because of not being accepted by their families. This has also been part of Wayne’s story.

Wayne found a path to stable housing with the help of Anchor House’s Street Outreach and Rapid Rehousing Programs.

In case you missed our announcement earlier this month, Anchor House is excited to share our new Mission, Vision and Values. 

Mereides Celebrates 20 Years at Anchor House!

Congrats to Mereides Delgado, Director of Young Adult Services, on 20 years of outstanding service!

Mereides worked in various roles over the years and currently oversees the Anchorage Transitional Living Program and Anchor Line Apartment Program.

Anchor House helps to prevent and end youth homelessness and prepares youth to live productive and independent lives. Responding to critical needs in the community, Anchor House provides the only youth shelter, transitional living, and street outreach program targeting youth in Mercer County, and one of two supportive housing programs in the county for young adults. Our mission is to provide youth and young adults who are experiencing abuse, neglect, homelessness, or are aging out of the child welfare system with comprehensive services that offer them and their families the support they need to succeed and thrive. From emergency shelter to transitional and permanent housing, Anchor House works to ensure our young people have a safe home as well as supportive and educational services for a better future.
