About the project
Shanti House serves as a short and long-term framework for at-risk, runaway, and homeless youth and young adults between the ages of 14-21 years, from all sectors, socioeconomic classes, and walks of life. The Jerusalem Foundation completed a renovation and upgrade to the house and the landscaping, designed for historic preservation. In the house, the young people participate in a variety of treatment methods. The facility provides a sense of warmth, acceptance, and familial belonging. Shanti House is located in the historic village of Ein Keren in southwest Jerusalem.
