SPA 8: South Bay

YYA SPA TABLE

What are your dreams & visions of ending youth & young adult homelessness/housing instability?

We are the South Bay youth led SPA team. In our vision for the future, we see a Los Angeles County where every young adult from the age (18-30) facing homelessness is empowered to build a brighter tomorrow. Through our strategic policy reform and innovative resource navigation, we envision a resourceful community where youth lead the systemic change. Building a network of collaboration and empowerment, we aspire to inform funders and organizations dedicated to serving unhoused youth.
