“We used to sleep under bridges, in abandoned warehouses, abandoned houses, under peoples’ porches. There are kids out there. A lot of people may not know it.”

Foundation 2 Gave Me A Roof To Live Under
“It made me feel real good knowing that someone besides my parents and foster parents really cared about me. I would also like to thank the TLP program for taking me in because without you guys I probably would have been out on the streets living like a bum.”
TLP participant
Helped By Street Outreach
