FALLING OUT: ‘Called to Hope – My vision for homeless youth’ with Jason Vallejo
Homelessness isn’t just a problem in the urban centers, but also exists in conservative wealthy areas like Collin County. Elevate North Texas provides a safe, affirming environment through access to immediate shelter and reunification with family, when possible.
Brian and Colman sit down with executive director Jason Vallejo to hear his vision to bring hope to homeless LGBTQ youth. Jason Vallejo is the Founder & Executive Director of Elevate North Texas – Youth Emergency Shelter.
Elevate North Texas’ mission is to fill in the gap of youth homelessness with emergency shelter. They provide a safe, affirming environment through access to immediate shelter and reunification with family, when possible.
Jason founded Elevate North Texas in 2020 in the midst of a global pandemic that we know as COVID-19. He saw a gap in the homeless system when it came to youth who were between the ages 18 to 24.
