Serenity House of Clallam County received a $2,500 award from the US Bank Foundation in October, supporting the Dream U program for Homeless Youth and Young Adults.

“With targeted grants and hands-on volunteerism, US Bank and your local manager, Lisa Meyer, have supported the work to end homelessness in Clallam County, for more than a dozen years,” said Serenity House Executive Director Kathy Wahto.

“We started Dream U last year to focus on helping homeless and at-risk young people, ages 17 to 24, to get the education and vocational support they need to be successful in life, so it is a great follow-up to US Bank’s past support of our child care and family programs,” she said.

Serenity House is a community-based private nonprofit 501(c)3 agency dedicated to preventing and ending homelessness in Clallam County.  Founded in 1982, the agency began offering services designed specifically for youth who are homeless or at-risk in 2004.
