Help Us Build F.A.S.E. Community Homes
F.A.S.E will use funds to secure a housing location and provide support to otherwise homeless youth in Los Angeles County.
F.A.S.E. Community Homes is a short-term housing program for teens and young adults with specific developmental programming. We aim to provide needed housing for homeless youth and young adults. Along with housing, we are looking to provide life skills education including financial literacy, cooking, household management, and therapy to create a holistic healing experience for these young women. These homes will truly be an opportunity for a fresh start with fresh opportunity.
U.S. Statistics report that approximately 2.4 million youth experience homelessness in the U.S.
- It's estimated that 100,000 children per year are victims of commercial sexual exploitation per year. Homeless youth are especially vulnerable.
- 25% of youth who have exited the foster care system have reported experiencing homelessness at least one-night 2 1/2 years-4 years after exiting the system.
- 40% of runaways/homeless youth identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, or questioning compared to 10% of the general population.
In LA County alone a recent article in the Los Angeles Daily News by Donna Little John identified 4,775 youth as being homeless throughout the county. This is an 18.5% increase from 2019 statistics reported. It has been reported that those students are more likely to be Black (38%) or Latino (43%) and female.
