You’re Invited!

Our LACY Honors luncheon is only a few months away and we’d love to have you there. Join more than 300 business, legal, and community leaders and show your support for Legal Advocates for Children & Youth (LACY), a program of the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley. LACY supports children facing serious issues like physical and sexual abuse, entry into the foster care system, and homelessness.

The luncheon honors the outstanding contributions of an individual and an organization that are working tirelessly to improve conditions for children in our community. This year, we are pleased to honor Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez as our individual honoree and Fresh Lifelines for Youth as our organization honoree.  

This wonderful event is an important gathering for our community. We hope you can join us!

Housing Instability Hurts Students

When a family is unsure about where they’ll live in the next few months or faces hurdles in meeting basic needs, children’s health and performance at school can begin to deteriorate. Unstable living conditions and lack of affordable housing options for our community hurts us all. According to the recent Children’s HealthWatch, “…We know children and families in stable, affordable homes arehealthier than those who struggle to afford their basic needs, like rent, food and utilities. Unstable housing is a preventable condition.”

Learn more about how health and education are systematically connected to affordable housing in the latest report from the Children’s HealthWatch.
