Subject: Urgent: Protect Funding for Youth Homelessness Services

Dear [Supervisor’s Name],

My name is [enter your name] and I am a [enter your profession/interests; something descriptive about you]. I am writing to express my deep concern over the millions of dollars in budget cuts to youth homelessness services in LA County’s Measure A funding recommendations. As someone who cares about the well-being of our young unhoused neighbors, I urge you to restore this critical funding and ensure that youth-specific services remain a priority in future homelessness prevention strategies. [If you have lived experience with homelessness or another personal story, it can be helpful to share that here if you’re comfortable. If not, just stating why YOU personally care about the issue is important.]

Each year, thousands of young people in Los Angeles face the trauma of homelessness. Without dedicated funding, organizations like The Village Family Services—which provides housing, mental health support, job training, and essential resources for unhoused and foster youth—may be forced to cut life-saving programs.

These cuts would directly impact:

  • Drop-In Centers that offer meals, showers, mental health support, and crisis intervention
  • Transitional Housing Programs that provide a stable foundation for young people to rebuild their lives
  • Family Reunification Services that help unhoused youth reconnect with loved ones
  • Job readiness and educational support that create pathways out of homelessness

Without stable funding, thousands of youth will be left without the support they need to survive. We cannot afford to let this happen.

I urge you to:

  1. Restore funding for youth homelessness services.
  2. Ensure that future homelessness prevention strategies include dedicated funding for youth.

Investing in young people today means building a stronger, safer Los Angeles for the future. Please stand with us to protect funding for youth experiencing homelessness.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
