Over the past 2–3 years DIRECTION61:3 has expanded its facilities, launched a multi-million-dollar capital campaign to build a community of homes for aged-out youth, and partnered with local organizations and donors to move from planning into construction and first-home groundbreaking milestones. The organization identifies as faith-based and integrates spiritual support with practical services for transition-age youth.
