Building Stability, Supporting Futures
About
Stable Ground Collective
Stable Ground Collective is a California-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting foster youth and nonminor dependents as they transition from the foster care system into independent adulthood. We believe that stable housing, consistent support, and skill building opportunities are essential foundation for long-term success.
Our work centers on providing youth with not only a safe place to live, but also the tools, guidance, and community connections needed to build a stable, self-directed future.
We exist to address one of the most critical gaps facing young people aging out of foster care: access to stable housing paired with meaningful, ongoing support. Without a safe place to live and trusted guidance, too many transition-age youth face homelessness, unemployment, or involvement with other systems during the early years of independence. Stable Ground Collective was created to help change those outcomes by providing stability, support, and opportunity during this critical transition.
Big ideas, real impact.
Our programs focus on providing housing stability, life skills development, education support, and individualized case management designed specifically for transition-age youth. We believe that stability is the foundation for success — and that when young people are supported with consistency, dignity, and opportunity, they can build strong, self-directed futures.
