Formerly homeless youth find a 'Progress Place' to call home
The L.A. Unified School District reported that over 16,000 students were homeless or transient last school year, and many go to school in Boyle Heights. The nonprofit Jóvenes, Inc. opened new permanent supportive housing units for youth aged 18-26, in the hopes of helping kids who are leaving foster care to get on a stable track. The story about housing for homeless youth is on Boyle Heights Beat.
