About Us
Straight Arrow Horizons was created to support young adults who suddenly lose stability the moment they age out of foster care. Too many are left without a home, guidance, or a safe place to land. Our founders, Jonathan and Victoria, saw this gap and built a program where young people can reset, breathe, and receive real support.
We provide more than housing, we offer life skills, mentorship, and a clear pathway toward independence. At Straight Arrow Horizons, every young adult deserves the chance to grow, succeed, and step confidently into their future.
Every year in New Jersey, young people turn eighteen and suddenly find themselves standing at the edge of adulthood without the support most of us take for granted. When the foster care system ends, many of these young adults face a terrifying question:
Where am I supposed to go now?
Straight Arrow Horizons was created to answer that question with compassion, stability, and real opportunity.
MISSION
Straight Arrow Horizons’ mission is to empower youth aging out of foster care by providing stable housing, mentorship, life skills, financial literacy, and workforce development—equipping them with the tools, confidence, and support needed to build independent, successful, and self-directed lives..
VISION
Straight Arrow Horizons envisions a future where no young adult transitions out of foster care alone—where each person is met with safety, guidance, and belief in their potential to succeed.
Every young person deserves a chance to succeed

Young adults should not be left alone when foster care ends. Our work ensures they have a place to land, breathe, and rebuild.

Our Promise
Without stable housing and supportive adults, young people aging out of foster care face increased risks of homelessness, exploitation, and involvement with the justice system. These outcomes are not a reflection of the youth themselves, but of the lack of guidance and resources available during one of the most vulnerable transitions in their lives.
Straight Arrow Horizons exists to change that.
By providing safe housing, life-skills training, mentorship, and consistent adult support, we help ensure that young adults have the foundation they need. We’re committed to ensuring that they are safe, stable, and focused on building their futures.
