Lara will support a group of youth leaders who are working to establish a comprehensive drop-in resource center for homeless youth and youth who have transitioned out of the foster care system. The young people will be able to use the drop-in center to meet basic needs, such as laundry and showering, to participate in independent living classes taught primarily by their peers, and to apply for government benefits and connect with schools or employment.
