About The Mothership is a 66,000 SF campus that triples shelter capacity for unhoused youth aged 12-24. It integrates emergency shelter, transitional housing, and supportive services like healthcare, education, and counseling. Designed with input from youth and staff, it fosters healing through trauma-informed, flexible spaces and promotes well-being with biophilic design and sustainability features. Since opening, youth engagement has soared and critical incidents dropped, redefining youth homelessness support.
