At Adventures to Dreams Enrichment, our mission is to inspire and support the youth in our community through hands-on educational activities in a safe, nurturing environment. We serve the poorest neighborhood in Long Beach, CA.

Our garden is a place where children can learn, grow, and dream. However, over the past years, we have noticed an increasing number of encampments of our unhoused neighbors near our garden.

While we deeply care about the well-being of every member of our community, we are concerned about the safety and health implications that these encampments present for both our program participants and the individuals living in these conditions. We believe that everyone deserves a safe, stable place to call home.

This petition aims to:

1. Raise awareness about the growing issue of homelessness near our garden and its impact on the community.

2. Advocate for safe, humane, and long-term housing solutions for our unhoused neighbors.

3. Encourage local government and community organizations to collaborate on creating sustainable support systems for those experiencing homelessness.

Together, we can advocate for the safety and well-being of everyone in our community, ensuring that our youth have a safe space to learn and that our unhoused neighbors have a path to a better future.

At Adventures to Dreams Enrichment, we believe in the power of community and the importance of providing a safe, nurturing environment for all. Your support is crucial in helping us achieve a balanced solution that protects both our program participants and our unhoused neighbors.
