A step onward is a move forward.

We empower young adults and families to break free from cycles of hardship.

“I felt like a failure. This was my first apartment and I was doing good, and in a blink of an eye I was about to lose everything. Thank you for what you’ve done for me. I am truly grateful and overwhelmed.” - Tateanna

There’s so much more to life than just barely getting by.

Cycles of hardship, homelessness and poverty can be hard to break. But with your help, we can break the pattern.

At Step Onward Foundation, our mission goes beyond just providing shelter.

Our purpose is to lift up youth and families by:

Breaking the cycle of homelessness and building a foundation for lifelong independence and success

We offer comprehensive support—from scholarships to mentorship—to help young adults succeed in higher education and trade programs.

Preventing eviction and homelessness for families with a seriously ill child

We provide rapid funding and eviction intervention to ensure stable housing, as well as support for food, transportation and counseling, for families with a critically ill child so they can focus on their child’s care.

“I cannot thank you enough for taking the strain off our family’s shoulders. This has made a huge impact for our family and we will never forget the support Step Onward has given us in this really trying and difficult season of our lives.” - Gabi
