🏠 Housing is more than a basic need— it provides a stable and secure base, a place where a young person can feel safe and comfortable, and connected to community. But with rent consuming 46% of income for young Angelenos ages 18-25, stable housing has become a rare luxury. Many are forced to navigate complicated voucher systems, long waitlists, and discrimination.

CARES Ambassadors in LA are pushing for a housing system that offers access to safe, stable, affordable, and healthy housing that meets their needs so young people can build a future without constant worry.
