The Safe & Stable Housing Fund at Coastal Community Foundation awarded a grant to the North County LGBTQ Resource Center: Unicorn Homes for their dedication and the impact of Unicorn Homes supporting LGBTQ+ youth and young adults in San Diego County who are unhoused or at risk of homelessness by providing safe, family-centered living spaces through a network of certified foster families. Through its expansion project, Unicorn Village, the program offers transitional housing and expert, LGBTQ+ informed support services for transition-aged youth, addressing key issues such as family rejection and lack of social support, while fostering acceptance and safety across the community through specialized training and service delivery.

Today we are highlighting Evan Ballows. He has been chosen by Eric Hall and the Coastal Community Foundation to receive one of the Eric Hall Scholarships through our scholarship program. Evan has just completed his first year at UCLA and could not have been more accomplished. He has not only excelled in his major, Civil Engineering but has also made an effort to get involved on campus. Evan is a member of UCLA’s chapter of ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers) and is especially involved in the Seismic Design group. He has shown great involvement within the School of Engineering and Applied Science but has also had the opportunity to serve his community through an organization called Swipe Out Hunger at UCLA. This club is dedicated to fighting student food insecurity and has been able to participate in quarterly “swipe” food drives where they collect unused student meal swipes and donate those to food-insecure students. He also greatly enjoys gleaning at local farmers markets, where they collect leftover food for the local food pantry.

The Coastal Community Foundation and Eric Hall are beyond proud of Evan and all of his success during his first year at UCLA! We know that Evan will truly make an impact on his community.

Supporting North County colleges and universities is a huge component of the work we do at Coastal Community Foundation. We provide grants and scholarships so that students in the area can build vibrant lives for themselves and, in turn, give back to North County. The foundation, in its early days, was started by a group of educators working to support higher education locally, and we continue that focus today.

Members and donors were recently invited to visit MiraCosta College in Oceanside to see that philanthropic focus in action at the new Student Services Building site. The project is almost complete, and the ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony this summer will be an exciting moment for CCF. It will show that our donors aren’t just talking about making a difference for local students; they are putting their money to work with concrete results.

To that end, the scholarship application deadline for the fall semester is quickly approaching! Applications must be submitted by Monday, April 1st. For more information about grants and scholarships offered, visit our website at www.coastalfoundation.org
