Grady’s Way is a residential emergency shelter for young men in our community. This supportive housing program will provide youth with a safe and secure living environment that also offers life skills activities and assists participants with performance based academics, job seeking skills, counseling, college applications and transitioning into permanent independent housing.

Homelessness in the United States is at an all time high. Homeless youth are at a very high risk of becoming victims of physical and sexual assault, human trafficking and other life threatening situations. Each year, approximately 5,000 runaway and homeless youth die on the streets. This is currently the only emergency shelter for homeless young men in Utica.
