We are a locally-based nonprofit that provides transitional housing, education, and jobs skills training to young adults aged 14-21. The majority of youth participating in Stafford House are high school drop outs who have little or no job training. At Stafford House they learn new skills while contributing to the overall quality of life in the Detroit area. Their participation increases the connection these young people feel to their community, their home, and their own future. When they care about all three, it benefits us all. Stafford House is proud to have served more than 200 families and youth since 1950.

Our mission is to enrich the lives of under privileged youth. We sponsor programs that empower young people to make their community better and improve the quality of their lives.

The mission of helping young people to build their self-esteem, learn to live independently, to become productive citizens, and to adopt life-long skills for successful living has been continued and maintained with this current program.
