BEND, OR -- Cascade Youth and Family Center (CYFC) has purchased a controversial triplex on Wilson Avenue in Bend. In March, Deschutes County dropped plans to open a transitional facility for parolees after neighbor objections.

Under the J Bar J Youth Services umbrella, CYFC will use the triplex to provide stable housing for young adults at risk of becoming homeless. They’ll serve people ages 16 to 24 with daily case management and support navigating independent living.

Participants will come from various backgrounds, including thos aging out of foster care or facing homelessness. 

Funding came from the Governor’s Executive Order to address the state’s homeless crisis, doled out locally by COIC.
