A bed solves tonight. It doesn't solve next year.

Everything in that second sentence takes time to work and somewhere to be while they finish the degree, learn the job, save the deposit, and step into their own place.

You asked: how long do students stay at AcademySTAY?
It varies. Some are ready for a place of their own in a matter of months. Others stay a year or more while they finish a program. Students stay while they're actively working toward independence, so the timeline fits the person, not a one-size schedule. The goal is simple: when someone leaves, they're leaving for something better.
