CASA of Humboldt County was incorporated as a nonprofi t in 1991 with the mission to provide advocates for foster youth. There are over 14,000 children in the foster care system in California. Foster kids need consistency and connectedness in their lives. A CASA volunteer, or Court Appointed Special Advocate, is devoted to providing all of this to youth in foster care by helping one-on-one as a court advocate, mentor, role model, champion, friend, and beacon of hope. Learn more about becoming an Advocate at humboldtcasa.org/whatis-an-advocate.

Home Grown, founded by Joann Taijala, works with transition-aged youth (ages 18-24) in Humboldt County who are experiencing housing insecurity to attain stable short-term housing and help break the cycle of homelessness. They use the Host Home model where caring community members volunteer to open up their homes and their hearts to “host” a youth. This approach allows youth to obtain access to stable short-term housing (1-12 months, but typically 3-6 months) while building meaningful connections with caring adults in their community. While youth are in the host home, Home Grown’s case managers work with them on pursuing their housing, academic, and employment goals, saving up extra income, and searching for long-term housing. For more information on Home Grown, you can visit their website at homegrownhosthomes.org or by phone at (707) 502-2228.
