Wallflower House
Wallflower House
A Transitional Housing Program
Our house provides safe and comfortable living spaces for young people ages 18-24.
For Youth
We want you to have the opportunity to heal, create your own space, and become part of a supportive community. The house is conveniently located just a few blocks from Downtown Northfield, walking distance to The Key, grocery stores, and job opportunities. Our commitment is to come alongside you during this chapter of your journey, providing support while staying true to our shared vision of a more equitable world. Thank you for trusting us—we’re here for you and look forward to getting to know you.
We also want you to leave! But only after you’re feeling prepared for your next step in life, whether that’s a job or more education.
Finally, we want you to come back. Our current residents need support from people who have successfully set and achieved their personal goals.
For the Community
The house is an extension of the services offered at the Key’s primary location, and a continuation of the services offered through our Wallflower Project. We seek to provide young people the support they need to achieve true independence and to chart their own futures.
Together with the greater Northfield community we will give these young people the support they need to become our neighbors, colleagues, and friends.
For Donors and Volunteers
Faith communities and service organizations have adopted the rooms at the Wallflower House, helping with the initial setup and ensuring the spaces are replenished and welcoming as new residents arrive. They provide essentials like sheets and comfort items like quilts to help residents feel supported and at home.
Other donors provide crucial financial support for our ongoing operations — we take an intentionally person-heavy approach to provide our residents exactly what they need. Donor generosity enables us to provide a wide range of services, including case management, advocacy and service coordination. Talented people require significant investments!
