Providing Legal Representation Racial discrimination, discrimination against pregnant youth, and discrimination against youth with criminal records prevent homeless youth from getting a job and renting an apartment. CCA is increasing its representation of youth in discrimination cases to help them become employed and access stable housing. Avery, pictured above, is one of CCA’s clients. She has fought through her experiences with homelessness to pursue a college degree. She called on her CCA attorney for legal assistance with housing and financial issues, and got help from CCA to pay for college textbooks. Avery is preparing to graduate this year with a Bachelor's degree in social work, which she plans to use to help youth who have also experienced tough times. For more information, email CCA paralegal Tiffany Minakhom. |
