Programs
For Youth
Depaul USA currently has two programs focused on addressing youth homelessness

Dax Program
To address the issue of college homelessness, Depaul USA established the Dax Program in 2014. The program provides support to move students towards graduation.
In Chicago and Philadelphia this innovative program provides:
- Housing
- Case management
- Counseling referrals
- Transportation
- Food stipends
- Textbook assistance
- Educational reimbursements

St. Lazare House
Depaul USA opened the St. Lazare House in St. Louis to house homeless youth ages 18-24. This program provides 15-units of permanent supportive housing for disabled, single, unaccompanied and chronically homeless youth. The end goal is for tenants to move into permanent housing of their own to become contributing members of the community.
Services provided include:
- On-site programing
- Community-based instruction
- Connecting to community resources
- Acquiring employment
- Applying for benefits and connection to health care
- Recovery and community support services
