At Llamau, we believe that no young person or vulnerable woman should ever have to experience homelessness. Our mission is to eradicate homelessness for young people and vulnerable women. Since our founding 30 years ago, we have supported over 67,000 young people, women, and their children who are homeless or facing homelessness. We recognize that their problems are often far more complex than a lack of shelter, and we treat everyone as an individual, supporting their unique strengths and needs to rebuild their futures.
