“What inspires me most about the young people here tonight is that they have not only overcome homelessness to achieve their personal ambitions, but they are also contributing to the communities in which they live, whether through teaching, fundraising or volunteering.” Guillermo continued.

Change that focuses in prevention rather than management”. And one that ensures all young people have truly affordable options to live and thrive independently.”
