Why not change a life, Friend?

Happy Monday Friend!

This week, we’re highlighting an amazing organization that we hope you’ll join us in supporting.

Jovenes Inc. works with youth between the ages of 18 and 24 experiencing or at risk of homelessness in LA County, offering them access to housing programs, employment resources, academic support, life skills training, and more. 

We’re inviting you to participate in their Host Homes programs. Through Host Homes, you could open up your spare bedroom to a youth for up to 6 months, helping them along their journey toward permanent, long-term housing.

During the 6 months, case managers work directly with the youth to help them achieve their goals. For you, Jovenes provides a $500 monthly stipend, and 24/7 staff support.

For more info on getting involved, contact Jovenes.

From the blog: LA’s biggest NIMBYs

“In Los Angeles County, the competition for ‘most anti-housing city government’ is fierce.”

Yikes.
