EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FOR VULNERABLE YOUTH
We need your assistance to provide vulnerable youth with essential items such as food, household items, clothing, school supplies, temporary housing. Recent events have caused funding streams that could be relied upon in the past to be disrupted.
Many of these youth are struggling to eat on a daily basis and even at times finding a place to sleep on a daily basis or even medical insurance to pay for supportive services. These youth have nowhere also to turn to in order to receive these essential items with no waiting time.
They turn to us because we provide them with valuable services such as mental health counseling and educational support. They have been referred to us from the District Attorney's Office, Probation Department, and other entities. We provide valuable support to these youth. All of our programs are designed to break the cycle of poverty, homelessness, and criminal behavior.
PESA's methodology: insert aid into every area that is a consequence or determinant of homelessness, poverty or criminal justice involvement. This serves a valuable public purpose and benefits the public at large by addressing the pipeline that leads to criminal behavior.
Please help us help these vulnerable youth. Thank you for your continued support.
