Nurturing Youth Sheltering Lives

Nurturing Youth Sheltering Lives is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing safe havens, supportive housing, and comprehensive services for troubled youth in Los Angeles County. We believe every young person deserves a chance to thrive, regardless of their circumstances.

The Critical Need

Los Angeles County facing a critical shortage of affordable housing options for troubled youth. These young people often experience homelessness, instability, and social isolation, leading to further challenges. We aim to bridge this gap by creating safe and nurturing environments where they can heal, grow, and build a brighter future.

Together, we can make a difference!
