We spoke with Mischa DiBattise, the Youth CES Regional Manager (SPA 5) at Safe Place for Youth, about Project Room Key (PRK), a program intended to protect high-risk individuals and prevent the spread of COVID-19 in LA. After learning more about the program, we talked about its gaps and how youth were not able to access PRK in the same way adults could due to unintended policy consequences. Also if you wanted to know anything about the Coordinated Entry System (CES), Mischa breaks it down!
