Foster youth represent an estimated 50% of the unhoused population nationwide — a staggering figure that reflects not a failure of the young people themselves, but a failure of the systems meant to support them. When a young person ages out of foster care, they are often on their own, forced to navigate adulthood with little to no guidance or support, leaving them vulnerable to instability.

A Sense of Home exists to fill that void — not just with furniture, but with the lived experience of being seen, supported, and believed in.

For over a decade, we have built that experience in Los Angeles, one home at a time, and have begun expanding to New York City. We have learned that a fully furnished home is not simply a material gift — it is the foundation from which a young person can begin to heal, to study, to parent, and to thrive.

Only 2-3% of foster youth graduate from college, compared to 36% of their peers. Many young women in our program are navigating new motherhood without the resources or support systems most families take for granted. And too many of our youth understand the difference a good night’s sleep in your own bed can make for mental wellness, focus, and resilience that the next chapter of their lives demands.

This May, our campaign meets those realities with three tangible acts of change:

Join our movement to help ensure that every young person who has aged out of foster care can sleep comfortably on a real bed, can study on a real desk, and never face parenthood without a crib for their child.

Every dollar you donate goes directly toward furnishing the first home of a young person who has aged out of foster care.

Be part of the mission to help prevent homelessness for foster youth in Los Angeles and New York.
