The Project

Ambassadors of Hope and Opportunity’s (AHO), a 17 year old Marin County nonprofit organization’s new program, the $60,000 COVID-19 Homeless Youth Housing Fund, was created to respond to our youth, who are students at College of Marin (COM), in the Economic Opportunity Services Program (EOPS). Due to the pandemic, these students are at a high risk of losing their housing and dropping out of college when the County’s rent moratorium ends on September 30, 2021. This fund will provide vetted EOPS students with rental and utility assistance, so they can remain in their rentals and continue their educations.
