A Beacon of Hope in
Los Angeles

Our mission is to provide protective housing & supportive services, for youths to young adults, in the Los Angeles County area, in an effort to reduce youth homelessness & juvenile delinquencies.

Founded in 2020, Moon Refuge Inc. emerged from a collective desire to address the growing crisis of youth homelessness in Los Angeles County. Recognizing the urgent need for comprehensive and compassionate solutions, our founders established Moon Refuge Inc. to be a sanctuary for youth in need of a safe haven.

We envision a world where every young person has access to safe housing, quality education, and the necessary support to thrive regardless of their background or circumstances.

Our vision is to create a supportive community that empowers at-risk youth to rebuild their lives and achieve their full potential.
