Jovenes is more than just housing—it’s a home and family for youth ages 18–24 experiencing homelessness. Based in Boyle Heights and serving communities throughout Southeast LA County, Jovenes provides comprehensive support including housing, healthcare, education, employment assistance, and trauma recovery.

We believe that homelessness does not define our youth. By empowering young people and walking alongside them, we help them build pathways to personal and professional success. Our mission is to ensure every youth we serve moves into permanent housing and becomes an active, thriving member of the community. Together, we’re breaking the cycle of homelessness and inspiring a brighter future.mission is to ensure every youth we serve moves into permanent housing and becomes an active, thriving member of the community.
