KANSAS CITY (MISSOURI)
The HALO Learning Center has been a safe-haven of healing and hope for 700+ youth in the greater Kansas City area. With the expansion in 2025 of a new Learning Center, Boys Home, and Girls Home, HALO will reach more children who need the foundation of a family.
With 4,000 to 5,000 youth, ages 0-24, experiencing homelessness in Kansas City, HALO opened two transitional living programs in 2025. To learn more about our Capital Campaign and expansion in Kansas City, read more here.
At the Kansas City Girls and Boys Homes, our doors and hearts are open to pregnant, parenting, and non-parenting youth ages 16-21, and their children, who are in homeless or high-risk situations. If you or someone you know needs housing, please apply now by completing our Housing Inquiry Form.
Providing the foundation of a family means we not only give homeless kids a safe place to sleep, we teach them how to make their bed every morning.
That’s just one of hundreds of little how-tos most kids learn from their parents or grandparents. HALO kids learn them here in order to take on a wide spectrum of needs, from simply surviving the night, to surviving their first job interview, to thriving on their own as successful young adults.
HALO holds the potential for a total reversal of fortune, because the homeless children and teens we work with don’t just exceed expectations, they defy the odds.
Are you in need of a safe place to sleep? Call/text us. 816-974-0456
Between two HALO homes that are residential state licensed facilities, 40+ youth and their children are supported annually through independent living skills, education and employment programs. Youth are also supported with continued services and support through the HALO Aftercare Program.
The HALO Learning Center is a safe-haven of healing and hope for over 700 children in Kansas City. HALO puts KC homeless kids on a path to a positive future. Through therapeutic art programs, tutoring, professional development, scholarships and help preparing for higher education, our kids work hard to leave the “at-risk” label behind and finally be seen as just a great kid with the potential to do great things.
Programs are facilitated on-site and remotely through partnerships in the community with organizations like reStart Inc. and Cornerstones of Care and with individual services with youth in the greater Kansas City area. HALO provides services and resources year-round, along with meals or snacks and is open Monday - Thursday 9 a.m. - 8 p.m.
