When the sun's out, we're out. ☀️ From grand slams at the ballpark to bowling nights, neighborhood beautification, and AANHPI heritage celebrations—what a season to be us! Grateful for every moment. More on our IG!

(1/3) 66% of young people who walk through our doors have experienced violence or trafficking. And the funding that helps keep them safe is on the chopping block…

(2/3) Sherilyn, our CEO, is calling on you to take action. The CalOES Office of Emergency Services funding provides young people across California with immediate access to shelter, housing, and food—and right now, it’s not in either the Assembly or Senate budget plans.

(3/3) This isn’t just about Larkin Street. It’s about all 12 counties across the state where young people need safety and services right now.
Take action NOW: larkinstreetyouth.org/preser…

Without $50M renewed in the 2026-27 State Budget, programs like ours lose the funding that makes this possible. Right now, neither the Assembly nor the Senate budget plans include these critical funds.
Call your legislator NOW.

Pride isn't just a month; it's a commitment. To showing up with affirming care. To building spaces where young people can exhale. To making sure every person who walks through our doors knows they are worthy of safety, stability, and joy. Happy #PrideMonth! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

The Governor's May Revise left out funding for programs that keep young people off the streets. Calling your senator takes five minutes, and it MATTERS.

Thank you to Senators Wiener, Becker, and Umberg for your support—now we need more voices. Contact your senator today and ask them to fund these life-saving programs.

Last week, we celebrated the opening of Casa Colibri, a new permanent supportive housing program for transition-age youth.
In partnership w/ @MissionActionSF & @LarkinStreet, Casa Colibri provides housing supportive services for young people who have experienced homelessness.

Getting youth physically off the street is just the beginning. It takes wraparound service, including support like SNAP benefits. A young person who hasn't eaten can't focus on a job interview or a housing application... That’s what we’re building, and we’re not letting up.

State lawmakers are making budget decisions this week that directly affect homeless youth in California. Public comment hearings are one of the most meaningful ways to make sure youth aren't forgotten in that conversation. You don't need to be an expert—you just need to show up.

Thank you, @Stefani4CA, @Scott_Wiener, and @AsmMattHaney for championing the programs that keep young people housed and for fighting to make sure they aren't left out of this budget.

Youth homelessness doesn't pause. Neither can we. @calyouth
$75M keeps CalOES' emergency services & housing programs alive for youth across California, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Now we need you to act.
