The 2020 Sleep Out was a huge success!

In the midst of a pandemic that has contributed to a 38% spike in our daily census, this year’s event was more important than ever. 100 onsite & 80 virtual sleepers helped us raise nearly $600,000 for youth facing homelessness in New Orleans.

To all those who played a part in making the event a success – we can’t thank you enough. 

It’s not too late – you can still support our sleepers here!

Youth Profile Update: Jakiya’s Gift

One of the under-recognized perceptions—and truths—about the young people we serve is the incredible number of innate gifts they possess. This spans across a wide spectrum of both potential and already-on-display talents.
