A steady place to land while you build your next chapter.

The Landing Pad is a veteran-founded, Black-owned shared-housing initiative planned for Brevard County, Florida. It is intended to offer a stable home environment for young men aging out of foster care and men facing homelessness, working toward independent living.

The current planned opening is 2027. Timing and availability may change as planning progresses. Contact us for updates.

The planned service area is Brevard County, Florida. To protect residents' privacy, the specific home address is shared after screening, not published on the website.

Young men ages 18–24 aging out of foster care, and men 18 and older facing homelessness, are welcome to inquire. Young women are welcome to inquire too — we will connect you with partner programs and our future women’s house. Individual suitability and eligibility details will be discussed through screening as program details are confirmed.

No. The Landing Pad is planned as housing, not treatment or medical care. Residents who need clinical, medical, or behavioral health services should arrange those services with qualified outside providers.

Housing fees are paid weekly in advance. There is a one-time $150 move-in/admin fee. There is no application fee and no deposit. The exact weekly fee is confirmed at inquiry — contact us for the latest information. Foster Youth to Independence (FYI) vouchers and Extended Foster Care (EFC) payments are accepted where applicable; ask us how those work with the weekly fee.

Yes. Furnished rooms, utilities, Wi-Fi, laundry, and shared kitchen access are included in the weekly fee. Specific details will be confirmed as the opening approaches.

Rooms are shared, typically two residents per room, with 8–10 beds across 4–5 bedrooms. Exact room options and occupancy will be confirmed as the opening approaches.

Start by contacting us. We will discuss general fit and explain the screening steps and information needed. Please do not send sensitive personal information, identification numbers, or confidential case details through the initial website form.

The planned opening is in 2027, and availability has not yet been confirmed. We welcome inquiries from people and referral partners planning ahead.

The home is furnished. Bring personal clothing, toiletries, identification, and any prescribed medications. A full move-in checklist will be shared before move-in — please wait for that guidance before purchasing items specifically for the home.

Yes. Families, foster care case managers, and other referral partners may contact us to ask general questions. Please obtain the person's permission before sharing personal information, and keep the initial inquiry general.

Use the contact form and select “Referral partner” as the inquiry type, or email us directly. We welcome early conversations about the planned housing model and future referral coordination.

House #1 serves young men ages 18–24 aging out of foster care, and men 18 and older facing homelessness. Residents can pay the weekly fee — including through FYI vouchers or Extended Foster Care where applicable — are employed, in school, or actively working toward it, and agree to the house rules. Suitability is discussed individually through screening.

No. One lane is for young men 18–24 aging out of foster care; the other is for men 18 and older facing homelessness. Either way, you need to be working, in school, or actively working toward it.

House #1 is for individual adults, so children cannot live in the home at opening. If you are a parenting young adult, contact us — we will connect you with partner programs that serve young parents, including WAYS for Life and Crosswinds Youth Services.

Sasha Ramos, the founder’s wife, manages the house day to day.

Life-skills coaching, employment and education support, help with identification, documents, benefits, and housing vouchers, financial literacy, and mentorship — all aimed at independent living.

Minimum stay is 30 days. There is no maximum stay — a resident in good standing may stay as long as they follow the house rules, pay their fees, and work toward independent living, with a progress review every 90 days and a 6–12 month target toward independent living. There is no application fee and no deposit. The one-time move-in/admin fee is $150, due at move-in with the first week's fee.

House rules cover employment or school, chores, curfew, and visitors. Final details, including quiet hours and the visitor policy, will be confirmed before opening.

No pets as a general rule. The exception is verified service animals and documented emotional support animals, which are allowed as a reasonable accommodation under the Fair Housing Act — no pet deposit or fee applies to those animals. Ask us if you have questions about a specific animal.

Coming soon. Rides for residents to work, school, appointments, and job interviews are planned, but transportation is not available yet — the house vehicle is not in place. Details and any fees will be confirmed before opening; do not assume transportation is included today.

Yes. Residents are expected to work, attend school, and keep outside appointments. Employment is expected within 30 days of move-in, with support during that grace period. Clinical and other professional services remain the responsibility of outside providers.

The Landing Pad is planned housing, not an emergency, medical, or crisis service. In an immediate emergency in the United States, call 911. For a mental-health or suicide crisis, call or text 988. Do not use this website form for urgent help.

Rooms are shared, typically two residents per room. Private rooms are not available. Exact privacy arrangements and occupancy will be confirmed as the opening approaches.

Start with a general inquiry so we can explain what is known and what is still being planned. Screening and suitability details will be shared once finalized. You are welcome to ask questions before making any decision.
