It’s going to be a very rainy Christmas in Los Angeles. Storms bring risk of hypothermia and other dangers that contribute to the 2,200 lives lost each year on our streets. Thank you again to our volunteers and donors who assembled and distributed more than 1,000 winter survival kits last weekend — it is a life-saving act. Please visit our website and contribute to helping our neighbors through this winter.

At The Giving Spirit, we believe that young people are the beacon of hope for our future. That’s why we not only serve unhoused youth, but also invite youth to serve.

From joining their families at our outreach events, to writing Friendship Cards, to joining our Youth Council, our young volunteers are proof that empathy can be taught and lived early. When we educate kids about homelessness with honesty and care, we’re not just informing them — we’re building a more compassionate, connected future.

Today is International Youth Day — a moment to honor not only the contributions of our youth, but the challenges they face.

In Los Angeles, thousands of youth are navigating life without stable housing — often alone, often unseen. Their struggles go far beyond shelter. They face deep mental health hurdles, interrupted education, and constant threats to their safety and well-being.

In 2024 alone, children under 18 experienced the largest single-year increase in homelessness — a heartbreaking 33% spike. Right here in our city, LAUSD is home to over 25,000 unhoused students.

But despite these realities, we see something powerful: resilience, hope, possibility.

This World Population Day, we reflect not just on how we’ve grown — but on who gets left behind when we do.

Between 2015 and 2025, the U.S. population surged by over 22.7 million. But as our cities swelled, so did the cracks in our foundation.
Today, we face a nationwide shortage of over 7 million affordable rental homes — and climate disasters are widening the gap.
When the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires tore through our region, they didn’t just destroy homes — they deepened an already urgent housing crisis, displacing more than 100,000 of our neighbors. With fewer than 4% of rentals available, many Angelenos were left with nowhere to turn.

As we look ahead to a future where 90% of the North American population will live in cities, we have a choice: continue systems that leave the most vulnerable in the margins — or rise with intention and ensure no one is left behind.

At The Giving Spirit, we educate to prepare overwhelmed communities today — and the future leaders who will rebuild them.

Fund education. Fund the future.

Our educational programming equips communities with the knowledge, empathy, and tools to face homelessness with purpose.
Your support fuels this work.
