🎤 Meet our Featured Speaker: Luis Correa!

Luis is a graduate of our Journey to Self Sufficiency and Work Activation Readiness Programs. Today he's a licensed Realtor serving clients across Southern California, and in his first year he sold his first eight homes!

His story shows what's possible when a young person has the right support and someone to walk alongside them.

We can't wait to hear Luis share his journey at our Gala on October 9. Follow along for highlights from the night, and drop a 🎉 in the comments to congratulate him!

1 IN 5 youth experiencing homelessness have couch surfed.

Homelessness isn't always visible. Sometimes it looks like sleeping on a friend's couch, one night at a time, with nowhere to call home.

Your support helps young people go from couch surfing to finally saying: home sweet home. 🧡

Stand up for a young person today. Give https ://www.standupforkids.org/orange-county/donate/

🎓 1 IN 5 college students face housing insecurity during the academic year.
We stand with college students working to stay enrolled and finish strong because a diploma shouldn't be out of reach just because you don't know where you'll sleep tonight.
Every student deserves a shot at that stage.
