Is Tamayo House like a group home?
No. Renters will live by the conditions set forth in their lease agreement and have few other rules. Renters will receive support and guidance from the Youth Advocates but will ultimately be expected to make their own decisions and take their own actions. Q: What’s the structure like: A: Tenants living at Tamayo House are in charge of structuring their own time. It is part of the lease agreement that tenants will engage in 20 hours a week of a community activity (school, work, volunteering, etc), meet weekly with a Youth Advocate to discuss individual goals, and attend bi-weekly community meetings. Tamayo House offers additional group activities to assist youth in developing skills but does not require participation.
