Former CLC client Esmeralda Barajas was featured this week in an ABC 7 LA story about the need to help youth find housing as they age out of foster care. The CLC housing team worked hard to help her and her young family with a rental payment and find stable housing.
Thanks to CLC’s newly-announced partnership with The Mayor’s Fund and RightWay Foundation, more clients like Esmeralda will get the housing support they need.
The We Are LA Children and Youth program will pair each young person aging out of the system with a trained caseworker who has been in the foster care system themselves to connect them to available resources and to help secure housing for them.
