Southern California Grantmakers expressed excitement to partner with the City of West Hollywood on the Los Angeles County’s LGBTQ Scan of Youth Services. SCG, which serves as the fiscal sponsor for the project, would receive $5,000 for the project by the City of West Hollywood. The study establishes an inventory of LGBTQ-specific programs; identifies gaps in knowledge, policy, data collection and training in relation to LGBTQ youth; and develops recommendations to address gaps and strategically allocate resources.
Southern California Grantmakers joined Los Angeles County in supporting the passage of a budget provision that would establish emergency child care vouchers for foster parents. This recommendation emerged from Los Angeles County’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Child Protection, which SCG supported. Learn more in our letter to the Budget Conference Committee.

What changes can we expect in federal and state budgets--and in the laws of our country? How will these changes affect what we can do? How will they affect the communities we support?
