THE RIGHTWAY FOUNDATION BUYS PROPERTY TO END FOSTER CARE TO HOMELESS PIPELINE

LOS ANGELES, California - The RightWay Foundation, a nonprofit helping transition-age foster youth get and keep good jobs and stable housing despite the overwhelming trauma they have endured throughout their entire lives, has purchased a multi-unit complex in Koreatown set to open on September 1 as supportive housing for homeless transition-age foster youth.

Los Angeles County is home to nearly 30,000 foster youth, making it the largest foster care system in the nation. Tragically, 20% of these young adults become homeless immediately after aging out.

“This Koreatown property marks the first step toward eradicating homelessness for foster youth,” said Franco Vega, CEO and Founder of The RightWay Foundation. “We’re not just providing housing, we’re providing healing, stability, and a pathway to independence.”

The RightWay Foundation will house 16 transition-age foster youth in the newly acquired Koreatown property. Each youth will have their own private bedroom and bathroom. On-site support will include a housing navigator, a therapist, and a job developer, all working together to help these young adults build the skills, stability, and confidence needed to successfully transition into independent living.
