Second Story is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Dunn Loring, Virginia, that helps local youth and families build lasting self-sufficiency through residential and community-based programs. Founded in 1972 and renamed from Alternative House in early 2017, the organization operates with a mission to create a community where people feel safe, hopeful, empowered, and seen. Its work includes housing, counseling, and supportive services designed to sustain stability for teens facing homelessness or crisis, young mothers, and other youth in underserved neighborhoods.

The organization delivers a range of targeted programs, including services for teens in crisis, a comprehensive pathway for young mothers, support for homeless youth to complete schooling and transition to adulthood, and community initiatives that connect youth to schools, meals, tutoring, and access to technology spaces. It also runs family resource centers providing food, clothing, and connections to financial advising and translation services. In October 2025, HomeAid NCR announced a partnership with Second Story, reflecting ongoing collaboration with housing-focused organizations to support shelter-related work.
