In Los Angeles, more than 3,000 young people experience homelessness on any given night. Many come out of foster care or the juvenile justice system, and too often LGBTQ youth and youth of color are hit hardest. But there are proven solutions.

In this episode, I talk with Erika Hartman, CEO of Safe Place for Youth (SPY), about what actually works. From Host Homes to Housing First, SPY has grown from one Venice site to nine locations across LA County. Erika explains how trust, prevention, and youth-specific services can stop the pipeline into chronic adult homelessness—and why community opposition and funding cuts put this progress at risk.
