Stability Through Art, Residency, and Training

 

The START Program is Kingsway PARCC’s flagship initiative focused on supporting youth and emerging creative artists ages 16–24 as they build stability, independence, and sustainable creative and entrepreneurial pathways.

​

The launch of START marks a new chapter for Kingsway PARCC, which began in 2016 as a creative social club for the arts and formally became a nonprofit organization in 2022. In 2025, the organization refined its mission to address the growing intersection between housing stability, creative opportunity, and economic independence for youth and emerging artists.

Pathways to Housing

We focus on the intersection of housing stability and creative sustainability—an issue increasingly affecting young artists nationwide. START offers options of housing-only resources or subsidies with light case management to assisting with independence. While emphasizing choice, dignity, and compliance, we address real-world barriers that often go unseen.

In addition to responsible participants, we are always seeking Housing Partners, Funders & Donors, Creative Instructors, Volunteer Mentors and Community Partners to join our Mission Please explore our site to find the best ways for you to contribute.
