    Every night, nearly 3,000 young people in Los Angeles County alone experience homelessness, facing not only the loss of stable shelter but also emotional hardship and isolation. This is part of a growing trend across the nation and around the world, where more and more young adults are struggling with homelessness, emotional abuse, and mental health issues. This November, for Youth Homelessness, Outreach, Prevention, and Education (HOPE) Month, we observe this month with a guest who’s making a real difference—Janet Denise Kelly, the founder and Executive Director of Sanctuary of Hope. Sanctuary of Hope offers life-changing services for youth and young adults (ages 16-25) across South Los Angeles, South Bay, Compton, and Antelope Valley, providing support to those impacted by housing insecurity, the child welfare and justice systems, trafficking, and more. Please tune-in and let’s shine a light on youth homelessness and the efforts to give every young person a chance at a brighter future.
