A new 12-week program is giving young adults the tools to not just find housing, but keep it and succeed. The Project Imagine Housing Stabilization Program, created in partnership with the Danville Redevelopment and Housing Authority and Third Chance Housing, is designed specifically for young people ages 18 to 24 who are ready to take the next step toward independence.
This pilot program brings together housing, support services, and one-on-one guidance to help participants build real-world skills and create a stable future.
"The goal is to meet young people where they are and give them the support they need to succeed long-term," said Robert David, the City of Danville’s violence prevention manager and head of Project Imagine. "This program isn’t just about getting housing—it’s about building confidence, life skills, and a foundation they can carry with them moving forward."
The first four weeks focus on the basics of living on your own. Participants take part in hands-on classes covering things like understanding tenant responsibilities, managing money, keeping a home clean and organized, and building everyday habits that support long-term stability.
After that, the program shifts gears. Instead of classroom time, participants work closely with housing stabilization advocates who provide personalized support, help troubleshoot challenges, and connect them to resources along the way. By the end of the program, participants will have gained practical skills, built confidence, and received consistent support to help them maintain stable housing and move forward successfully.
This partnership is all about giving young adults the tools, support, and opportunity to build a strong foundation for their future.
