At Lazy River Products, we believe in the power of community partnerships to create meaningful change. This January marks our third year supporting Project Kompass, a nonprofit dedicated to helping young women—particularly new and expectant mothers—transition from homelessness to independence.
In a world where housing insecurity can feel like an insurmountable barrier, Project Kompass offers not only shelter but the skills and support these women need to build stable, successful futures for themselves and their children.
Let’s take a closer look at the incredible work they do, the lives they’ve changed, and how you can join us in supporting their mission.
What is Project Kompass?
Project Kompass focuses on providing transitional housing and holistic support for young women aged 18-24 who are experiencing housing insecurity. Many participants are new or expectant mothers who need a stable foundation to thrive.
Their Mission Includes:
- Safe, stable transitional housing for young women and their children.
- Teaching essential life skills like budgeting, parenting, and career planning.
- Building confidence and independence through mentorship and emotional support.
- Since their launch, Project Kompass has made a remarkable impact:
- They have successfully helped young women transition to independence with secure housing and life skills.
- Many participants have gone on to pursue education, find employment, and create nurturing homes for their families.
This personalized, compassionate approach helps break the cycle of homelessness and empowers participants to build lasting independence.
Why Does This Work Matter?
Youth homelessness, particularly for young mothers, is a significant challenge across the country. Without a stable foundation, it’s difficult to pursue education, maintain employment, or care for a growing family.
Project Kompass steps in where it matters most—offering housing, support, and tools that create pathways to success. By providing these young women with a safe space and a roadmap for growth, Project Kompass gives them the chance to rewrite their stories.
Key Areas of Impact:
- Stable Housing: A secure environment for women and children to grow and thrive.
- Life Skills Development: Practical tools to manage finances, household responsibilities, and parenting.
- Long-Term Independence: Helping participants transition to employment, education, and stable living situations.
