By connecting families to services and support, we build their protective factors and functional life skills to achieve long-term permanency.

2. Through The Village's Drop-In Center, hundreds of Transition-Age Youth (TAY) experiencing homelessness receive a variety of critical service basic needs (i.e., warm food, clean clothing, laundry services, hot showers) to more comprehensive services (i.e., housing services, linkages to education, mental health, workforce education and placement, life skills workshops, LGBTQ services, etc.) in order to become independent and healthy adults. As the lead agency for the Los Angeles County Youth Coordinated Entry System (YCES), The Village is responsible for processing all TAY in the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys for housing placement. The Village also oversees TAY bridge and transitional programs via a 38-bed shelter in Chatsworth and a rapid rehousing program.
