Maryland Living Center

The mission of the Maryland Living Center is to provide an empowering life experience in a stable, safe, and secure living and learning environment, for homeless or transitioning youth. The living center is a permanent housing facility that aims to successfully transition homeless and aged-out youth-ages 16-21 years old- into independent living within 12-18 months.

MLC offers residential assistance to 12 youth at any given time. Some youth are parenting and some are single male or female. MLC teaches the youth how to be a good renter, how to open a bank account, how credit works, how to write a resume, job readiness, how to clean and maintain an apartment, information on relationships, how to shop for, prepare and cook simple meals. This list is not all-inclusive.

Testimonials

"I came from a foster home that no longer wanted me living with them, and the Maryland Living Center helped change my life. They helped me learn not only valuable living skills, but also helped me gain confidence in myself. I was able to reconnect with some of my family, join extra curricular activities, graduate high school, buy a reliable vehicle, and get accepted into college." - Anonymous
