HomeAid Partner - The Teen Project Works to Provide Homes for Youth

In California 20,000 to 25,000 youth are homeless. More shocking statistics - 65% of foster youth emancipate without a place to live. HomeAid's 46th housing development built for The Teen Project provides a home and family support system for young women who have aged out of the foster care system. The average stay in the program is 24 months. The residents live in a stable environment with guidance and structure provided by professional staff. The ultimate goal for each young woman is to become a productive, independent and self-sufficient adult.

All People Have a Story to Share

Scott Hays and Roger Harvey believe everyone has a story to tell and they started their company WeedPatch Recordings to tell the stories of homeless men and women. They believe in HomeAid's work to help other non-profit agencies increase their capacity to provide shelter and services to homeless families and individuals. With this strong conviction the duo donated their time, talent and resources to produce a music documentary to tell HomeAid's story. They pulled together a team of artists, community members, students and business leaders to join them in their efforts to create this compelling video. Their ultimate goals are to generate community awareness and to encourage others to join them in their support of HomeAid.

Home Again showcases the musical talent of Los Angeles singer-songwriter John Batdorf and Orange County based singer-songwriter Jason Feddy.
