Take 5 minutes to call your state representatives. Ask them to support SB 492 Senator Caroline Menjivar and ensure youth housing is included in any housing bond in 2026. Your call can help build homes for thousands of youth.

Funding for youth homelessness programs is shrinking- but the need is growing. We as a community must come together to ensure that vital sources of support for our youth don't dwindle away. Support our youth and close the gap in youth housing.

We met with @sbcountyschools.bsky.social to discuss supporting youth experiencing homelessness. At the Senate District Directors Institute, @childrennow.bsky.social showed how policy & partnerships support youth. In Grass Valley, Bright Futures for Youth highlighted community action. #YouthHOPEMonth

Housing specifically designed for youth is often left out. SB 492 (Senator Caroline Menjivar) ensures that young people across California experiencing housing insecurity are included in housing bond discussions. #YouthRights #YouthHousing #FutureCalifornia

Nearly 34,000 unaccompanied youth accessed California’s homelessness system in just the first quarter of 2025. It’s time to meet this moment with urgency and care. #EndYouthHomelessness #YouthHOPEMonth

At the California Black Chamber of Commerce Summit, Executive Director Jevon Wilkes received the Community Service Change Maker Award- recognizing his leadership and commitment to expanding hope and opportunity for youth across California. #YouthHOPEMonth #CalYouthTour #CommunityChange

Community is our greatest strength. Every stop on the tour reminds us of how powerful it is when we show up for one another. #YouthHOPEMonth #CalYouthTour

Youth who are parents are often overlooked in homelessness services, yet helping families find housing costs nearly half as much as leaving someone unhoused. Let’s invest in prevention. #YouthHOPEMonth #EndYouthHomelessness #HHAP #YouthSupport #YouthHOPE

Our CalYouth Tour launched with a Board Meeting & Kickoff, then continued in Contra Costa for local Youth HOPE Month presentations & events. Next up: San Bernardino County to keep building awareness and action statewide. #YouthHOPEMonth #EndYouthHomelessness

Homelessness won’t end with bans or criminalization. It ends with outreach. It ends with supportive services. It ends with affordable housing. That’s what SB 634 is about. #SB634 @governor.ca.gov tinyurl.com/4nyschsr

Senator Arreguín, joined by Senators Grove, Blakespear & Renee Pérez, led Senate Concurrent Resolution 100 (SCR 100) to declare Nov 2025 as CA Youth Homelessness Outreach Prevention & Education (HOPE) Month. It passed 37-0 -marking a huge step in generating awareness and support for unhoused youth.
