About us

Firm Footing helps young adults build stable lives. Most people have family to call when the rent is short or the car dies at 19. A lot of young adults don’t. They age out of foster care, leave a home that wasn’t safe, or simply run out of people. We step into that gap.

What we believe

Stability is learned, not handed out. We don’t do things for young adults that they can do themselves. We do them alongside, until they can.

Nobody should have to earn help by hitting bottom first. If you’re 18 to 24 and need a hand, you qualify for a conversation.

Who we are

A small staff, a board of neighbors, and a bench of volunteer mentors who answer the phone. Your team, your board and your story go here.
