Ending Child & Youth
|
It is unthinkable to us that in this beautiful area that we call home, with all its wealth, any child should go without having their basic needs for shelter met. If you are so moved, please support us in our efforts to find a home for every child in Monterey County.

Did you know that according to figures from the Monterey County Office of Education just under 10,000 children and youth in our county are deemed homeless? We didn’t either, but when we discovered this, our commitment only intensified. That number includes young people on the streets, in vehicles, in temporary shelters, in hotels and motels, as well as multiple families living together in small, unsuitable dwellings. It doesn’t take much imagination to envision the impact these unstable conditions have on a young person’s physical, emotional, educational and social development. (Stats as of 11/28/22)

As if running a charitable institution isn’t enough, add in all the restrictions to our lives that have been imposed on us in the past year plus due to the pandemic and you have a formula for cumulative stress that could lead to leadership and staff exhaustion.
