Host Homes provides temporary short-term housing to homeless and runaway female youth. Victims Assistance Program provides temporary shelter for young girls that are victims of crime. Poverty, high school dropout rates, lack of affordable housing, teen pregnancy and clashes in cultures are some of the factors associated with the noted increase in the number of homeless and runaway youth nationwide. In response to the demands for service to this population, five years ago, the Latin American Youth Center (LAYC) funded the Host Homes Program. The LAYC Host Homes Program addresses the immediate needs of runaway and homeless female youth and their families in a culturally sensitive/community based setting. Services:
