The yearlong program starts with workplace training, followed by a three-month job placement at a nonprofit or small business, as well as credit counseling.

Fletcher, who asked not be identified by their full name, has to take two trains and a bus to get home, but would never complain about the inconvenience because having a home to go to wasn't always a guarantee.

Fletcher now works at Breaktime, a nonprofit helping end the cycle of homelessness among young adults.

Schoen, a recent Harvard graduate, was inspired to start Breaktime while working at a shelter during college.
