Housing Security Challenges:

I challenge you to design a solution that addresses homelessness among high school students and young adults in your community, and emphasizes the importance of stabilizing their access to education and academic performance.

Dr. Brandy Brooks

I challenge you to create a program that equips unhoused, transition-aged youth with the skills, tools, and motivation to secure stable housing by encouraging the utilization of existing resources and helps to set actionable goals for immediate and future success in housing security.

Jerry Troyer

We challenge you to lead a campaign that raises awareness about the current homelessness prevention efforts in the City of San Diego and reduces the stigma that families might experience by accessing services.

Megan Burt & Ilene Lozada

I challenge you to raise awareness about the ways that discriminatory housing policies continue to impact communities today, and design a solution that empowers residents to collaborate with policymakers to promote equitable housing access.

The Lyon Collective (TLC)

The Lyon Collective's mission is to inspire compassionate advocates for individuals experiencing homelessness by raising awareness, destigmatizing the issue, and providing accessible resources. Together, we empower students to be change-makers in our community.

H.U.G. (Hug, United, Grow)

Our vision is for every CHS student and family to know what resources are available to them if they face the challenge of experiencing homelessness or unstable housing, and to feel empowered to be able to access those resources.

Bridges to Tomorrow

Our vision is to lighten the burden of homelessness because we know we can't end it but reduce it and make people who are homeless feel comfortable as much as possible.

Streetlight

We envision a future where every young person has a safe, supportive space to turn to—day or night—ensuring that no student facing homelessness feels alone, unheard, or without a path forward.

The Neighborhood

Our vision for The Neighborhood is to enlighten our community by spreading awareness to young adults affected by homelessness through a pathway of education.

R.E.A.C.H O.U.T

Create a friendly space where youth can help other youth find solutions to the issues that arise from experiencing homelessness.

Future Foundation Project

We will help shift the mindset of students in unstable housing conditions to invoke a sense of hope and sufficiency.

Saturday Socials

Unhoused youth are no longer ostracized and the Point Loma community provides systems and resources for them to improve themselves and their circumstances for a better future.

FIRST PATH

We envision that all foster youth will have the knowledge and resources to independently support themselves as they transition into adulthood, focusing on financial stability and long-term housing.

House the Unhoused

Our vision for House the Unhoused is to mobilize an entire community with an effort to connect unhoused people to resources. We hope to inspire students across the country to create a documentary that will engage their community to do the same.
