We were excited to welcome Zac Clark, founder of The HomeMore Project to tour our Youth Navigation Center! During his visit, he had the opportunity to see Hutton House, Pathways, and our Low-Barrier Shelter and learn more about the work happening every day to support youth and young adults in our community.

Zac also interviewed several of our young adults, whose powerful stories will be featured in his upcoming book, The Places We Dream, a statewide project highlighting first-person stories of homelessness across California. We are honored to be part of this important work and look forward to the book’s release! Thank you, Zac, for helping amplify the voices of young people in Stanislaus County.
