Funds will provide critical flexible funding that enables Bresee to respond to challenges while continuing to serve as a trusted community anchor. Support will be used where needed most to stabilize households with children through emergency assistance, case management, and referrals to partner agencies, to sustain core youth programs including providing stipends for high school students serving as paid youth leaders, and scholarships for first-generation college students through our College Access and Success initiatives. With this support, youth in Central Los Angeles can continue to thrive.
