About Us

Our Mission

Transitioning into adulthood is hard enough; imagine this transition intensified dramatically for the young adults who have spent some or all of their lives in the foster care system. Children who spend time in foster care often face serious challenges later in life.


Many young adults “aging out” do not have the established connections or tools needed to enter the world. Because of this, it can be a scary and intimidating time. Lacking the resources needed to move on, young adults are exiting the foster care system into homelessness, leading to a world of detrimental outcomes, including the risk of human trafficking, substance abuse, incarceration, and even death. They are also less likely to complete their education and find employment.


Trigg House has devoted its time to building strong relationships that will empower, inspire and uplift our youth to have successful, stable futures. 


Trigg House uses unique approaches, mentorship being a significant focus, to give foster youth the support they require to successfully transition into adulthood. We provide a “safety net” to lessen the risks facing these young adults.


In New York alone, an estimated 1,200 adolescents age out of the system each year. Between 18 and 26% of those young adults will end up in homeless shelters, and approximately 50% of them will fail to find employment. Trigg House’s goal is to decrease these numbers.
