What we’re fighting for:

  • Renewal funds for emergency hotel vouchers, one of the only ways we can provide immediate access to a safe place to sleep. Youth providers can’t afford to lose $620,000 in emergency hotel voucher funds for TAY!
  • More bridge housing for TAY—especially since the Sunset program is closing this month. TAY need more options to stabilize, recover from trauma, and build pathways for themselves into permanent solutions.
  • Deeper education and employment investments, so TAY experiencing homelessness can build careers and sustainable income
  • More clinicians to provide behavioral health support, especially in our shelter, navigation, and drop-in programs across the city
  • A stronger focus on younger TAY, especially the 14–18 year olds that have become homeless and disconnected from school because of the pandemic

Together, we can continue making progress towards eliminating homelessness for young people.
