The Faine House

CLOSE TO HOME

The Faine House Introduces Our First Multi-Unit Community

Since our founding, The Faine House has provided a safe environment designed to equip young adults overcoming traumatic childhood traumas with the tools, accountability, and support needed to build self-sustaining lives. Now, we are expanding with Close to Home, a purpose-built residential community on the three-acre parcel adjacent to the existing campus. Close to Home will serve as a next-level program for young adults who have completed their time on campus and are ready for the final transition toward independent living.

"Close to Home" is much more than housing. 

“Most young people aren’t ready to live fully on their own even at 23 .Rent is expensive and support systems are shrinking. Even the most determined young adults can struggle to stay on their feet. 'Close to Home’ will be a bridge our residents need to build lasting independence.” - Jeff Faine, Co-Founder

A Supportive Neighborhood Designed for Growth

The vision for Close to Home combines affordability, structure, and community—key elements that young adults consistently identify as barriers when taking the next step on their own. The planned community will include:

  • Up to ten small homes or cottages, creating a sense of both independence and safety
  • Shared green space to foster connection, community, and well-being
  • A community resource pavilion for workshops, networking opportunities, and life-skills education
  • A two-year residency program exclusively for graduates of The Faine House
  • Reduced rent with utilities included, offering stability during this essential stage of self-sufficiency
  • Continued access to case management, mentoring, financial literacy training, and career support from the professional team guiding their transition

Preserving Hard-Earned Independence

The Faine House invests years of structured support into each resident. Close to Home protects and enhances outcomes by preventing housing instability at this critical juncture. This multi-unit community will:

  • Reduce the likelihood of homelessness
  • Support long-term employment stability
  • Strengthen financial independence
  • Improve long-term life outcomes

The early twenties are a fragile transition window. Close to Home ensures that turning 23 does not mean starting over.

Why The Faine House Works

When young adults are given stability, responsibility, and the expectation to rise to the occasion, they do.

Residents are expected to work, pursue education or training,  and actively engage in their own growth.

In return, they receive safe housing, mentorship, transportation support, life skills training, and the time needed to build a sustainable future. It’s not a handout. It’s a partnership and it’s changing lives.
