Our History

MY House began in 2009 when founder and CEO Michelle Overstreet felt that there was more the Mat-Su community could be doing to provide for the needs of homeless youth in the community. With the support of founding board members and passionate individuals in the community, MY House was officially certified as a 501(c)3 in 2011. In 2013 MY House moved into the drop-in center location that it still currently occupies at 300 N. Willow Street in downtown Wasilla. The drop-in center has provided services to well over 1,000 youth from the Mat-Su and beyond in its decade plus of existence. In 2022, MY House was awarded a federal appropriation to construct an additional building at 800 N. Wasilla-Fishhook Road, which will add 64 additional housing beds and will provide a variety of additional services for the homeless and at-risk youth of Alaska.
