After aging out of foster care, Erika M. (age 25) had limited resources, family or social supports. Pathways Housing program provided a window of hope for Erika to evade the devastation of homelessness, especially as a transition age youth. She had already begun to make amazing strides towards both her professional and academic career. Erika maintains an ambitious schedule as a full-time MSW student at Cal State LA and a full-time Caseworker at Children’s Law Center LA, while she makes strides towards her own well-being. She also shares information on community resources for foster care with her fellow residents and staff.
Pathways provided a foundation for Erika to continue her journey by providing stable housing in one of their apartments in East Los Angeles, which is the foundation for her to pursue her education and employment opportunities
