About Moab House Inc

For our young adults, learning how to care for their personal laundry is an important step toward independence. However, without access to a safe and functional laundry space, they are deprived of the opportunity to practice this important life skill. Currently, one laundry room is shared by all residents, including the house family. Under the new plan, 4 Moab House Young Adults (MYAs) would share one laundry room, making it even more crucial to ensure that these spaces are efficient, organized, and accessible for all.

The West Wing is home to several of our Moab House Young Adults (MYAs), and it’s important that they have a living space that is not only safe and functional but also welcoming and comfortable. The current flooring is outdated dark and light pink tiles, and by installing 2'x2' soft grey vinyl tiles, we will create a cohesive and beautiful environment throughout the house. These new floors will match the stunning, modern look of the East Resident Wing and the main hallways, creating a unified feel throughout the building.

Privacy and routine are essential, especially for their conservatee, whose past trauma has led to heightened sensitivity to disruptions and a deep need for predictability in her environment. Currently, the lack of a second bathroom creates stress, interruptions, and challenges in daily routines, making it difficult for both the House Parents and their conservatee to maintain the stability and privacy they need.

Moab House provides comprehensive support to young adults who are transitioning from foster care to independent living. Ensuring that residents do not have to worry about the basic necessities of daily life is key to their growth and success. By covering these essential expenses, we help reduce financial burdens and allow our residents to focus on building skills and achieving their goals, such as securing stable employment, advancing their education, and maintaining good health. This holistic approach fosters self-reliance, builds confidence, and supports the overall well-being of our residents.

Many young adults transitioning out of foster care lack critical life skills necessary for independent living, and care-workers simply don’t have the time to teach them all they need to know in order to transition successfully. Traditional educational methods may not resonate with this demographic, but short, engaging, and visually appealing video content is an effective way to capture their attention and facilitate learning. 

Former foster youth often lack a reliable safety net when unexpected financial hardships arise. Without family support, they are at a higher risk of homelessness, food insecurity, and financial distress. By establishing a designated Benevolence Giving Fund, Moab House can extend its mission beyond its residents, assisting young adults in crisis and fostering long-term stability. This initiative also strengthens partnerships with neighboring counties and Cadence Care, allowing for a coordinated response to urgent needs.
