To help young adults, ages 17-24, better prepare for self-sufficient lives after foster care, we opened the Summit Trail Apartment Community to provide supervised living for those who are homeless, parenting, leaving juvenile justice and/or mental health systems. This supportive housing community helps young adults learn the skills necessary for productive adulthood in a supervised environment.
Residents are paired with a Life Coach who use the Transition to Independence Model to focus on:
Employment & Career
Educational Opportunities
Living Situations
Personal Effectiveness & Well-Being
Community Life Functioning
The Transition to Independence Model Provides the following methods:
Engage through Person-Centered Approach
Tailor Services & Support to be Accessible, Coordinated, Developmentally Appropriate & Built on Strengths
Acknowledge Personal Choice
Ensure a Safety Net of Support
Enhance Competencies to Assist in Self-Sufficiency
As a part of CHRIS 180’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability, Summit Trail apartments are EarthCraft Multifamily Certified buildings.

Two years after leaving Summit Trail, 97% of our young adults were safely housed and 90% were employed and/or in school.
