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

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
