    Creating Homes/Preventing Homelessness for L.A. Foster Youth

    A Sense of Home provides critical housing support for 150 transition-age foster youth (TAY) throughout L.A. County a year. Our model revolves around Home Creations, where our team of volunteers and "alumni" youth transform empty, unworkable living spaces into fully functional and emotionally comforting homes by selecting over 250 customized items (furniture, home goods, and appliances) for each TAY. We also equip youth with skills and resources to achieve their full potential through wrap-around services, mentorship and a community of support.
