Stable student housing is the foundation for opportunity, stability, and success.
Today, LACCD proudly convened community leaders, housing advocates, educators, and partners for an Action Summit focused on expanding housing opportunities for current and former foster youth. Together, we engaged in meaningful conversations, explored innovative solutions, and strengthened our collective commitment to ensuring that every student has a safe place to call home.
This work reflects our belief that student success does not begin and end in the classroom. When students have stable housing, they are better positioned to learn, persist, graduate, and achieve their dreams.
We'd like to thank LACCD Board President Sara Hernandez for her leadership and unwavering commitment to foster youth and the entire board for continuing to open pathways for success. This summit builds upon the District’s historic commitment and the Board resolution to reserve 20% of our emerging student housing program for current and former foster youth—an investment in equity, dignity, and the future of our students.
At LACCD, we are not just talking about solutions, we are building them. Together, we are creating pathways of hope and opportunity for some of our most resilient students.
