Angels Nest TLP Providing housing šŸ  and other supportive services for current and former foster youths attending coll

Angels Nest Transitional Living Program’s mission is to support current and former foster youth exiting the foster care system who are at risk of homelessness. We serve these young adults as they pursue a college degree to become independent, self‐supporting, community leaders. We provide services including housing, career development, and life‐skills training to overcome past trauma and break the cycle in their own families and communities to reach their fullest potential.

Through back to 2024 when Angels Nest Executive Director, attends a VIP art gallery exhibition at CSULA celebrating the new University Vice President, Claudio Lindow. She’s pictured here with administrative leadership sharing statistics that 40% of LA’s homeless population have a history of being in foster care. This led to discussing on campus housing opportunities and potential for larger housing initiatives between the University and the City of LA. Being present at events is important as it often leads to bigger conversations that are often seedlings to long term impact and change when the right leadership supports important ideas.

Angels Nest has been partners with CSULA’s Guardian Scholar Program ( ) for many years and supports summer housing for students with a history of being in foster care.

šŸŽ“ Congratulations to the graduates of Cal Poly Pomona’s Renaissance Scholars Program!

We are incredibly proud to celebrate this remarkable milestone with students who have worked tirelessly to earn their degrees while overcoming challenges that many never see.

Since 2021, Angels Nest has proudly partnered with Cal Poly Pomona to support current and former foster youth through the Renaissance Scholars Program. In addition to mentorship and support services, we provide funding for summer housing, helping bridge a critical gap that financial aid often does not cover.

While most financial aid supports students during the fall and spring semesters, summer can be one of the most vulnerable times for foster youth. Without stable housing, many students face uncertainty and housing insecurity, making it even more difficult to stay focused on their education and return successfully for the next academic year.

Because of generous donors and community support, students can remain safely housed, maintain stability, and continue building the future they have worked so hard to achieve.

Congratulations to this year’s graduates. Your resilience, determination, and dedication inspire us all. We can’t wait to see what you accomplish next. šŸ’™

As Foster Care Awareness Month continues, we invite you to help us ensure more students have the housing and support they need to succeed. Every donation helps create stability, opportunity, and hope.

Every success story starts with someone believing in you.

At Angels Nest, we lovingly refer to the youth in our programs as our Rising Angels because we have the privilege of watching them grow, overcome challenges, pursue their education, and build independent lives as they transition into adulthood.

This month, one of our Rising Angels from our Wings of Empowerment Housing Program shared that becoming a mother taught her one of life’s greatest lessons: patience. What stands out most is not just her reflection, but her growth, resilience, and willingness to embrace every challenge as an opportunity to learn.

At Angels Nest, we see stories like this every day. When current and former foster youth are surrounded by stable housing, encouragement, mentorship, and a caring community, they gain the confidence to create the future they deserve.
This Rising Angel is proof that support changes lives. A safe place to call home matters. A mentor matters. A caring community matters.

Through our Wings of Empowerment Housing Program, young adults receive the foundation they need to pursue their education, strengthen their independence, and achieve their goals.

We are incredibly proud of this Rising Angel and the strength, determination, and love she demonstrates every day as she continues building a bright future for herself and her son. šŸ’™

Because when young people are given the support they deserve, they don’t just survive, they rise.

Help us continue supporting more Rising Angels as they pursue education, independence, and their dreams.

Graduation Season šŸŽ“šŸ§”

May and June is heavy graduation season. Executive Director, Arzo Yusuf makes her rounds to as many end of year celebrations as she can and celebrates students graduating college via Guardian Scholars Programs at CSUDH, CSULB, CSULA, CPP. She also attends LAUSD’s end of year celebration to announce and award scholarships on stage to the winning students. Many students gave heartfelt testimony about the challenges faced and how important the support they received from Angels Nest was.

In 2025 Director Yusuf was a Special Guest speaker at CSULA and this year the Keynote was given by Executive Director of Los Angeles County Office of Civil Rights, Capri Maddox. Director Maddox gave an inspiring speech and shared of her own struggles during undergrad at CSULA and not having housing during summer. Angels Nest makes an annual donation to CSULA, CSULB, CSUDH and CPP earmarked for summer housing so students can focus on school and have peace of mind.
