"As a trained investigator, I wasn’t sure what to expect and how beneficial this training would be. I recommend this course to anyone who truly wants to make a positive impact on the plague of child exploitation. The quality of instruction far exceeded anything I experienced in all of my training.”
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR, B.H.
“Exceedingly beyond my expectations, day 1 shifted my paradigm beyond awareness. This was my first exposure to anything like this other than awareness and some previous info from Vets 4 Child Rescue. I will leave here different than I arrived and more equipped. I will pray for you all. I am in NC and will do anything I can to help. Thank you.”

SPY UPDATE
SPY UPDATE – April 23, 2020
Advocacy Opportunity: Helping the Homeless during COVID-19
At SPY, we’re so thrilled to be part of such a resilient and connected community. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the outpouring of support we’ve received during these unpredictable times.
We’re thankful for our dedicated team members who are still working every day to provide life-saving support and essential services at SPY’s Access Center and across all of our residential programs.
We’re thankful for the swift action to prioritize the vulnerability of the homeless population in Los Angeles, providing handwashing stations and opening additional shelters to provide a safe space during this time of uncertainty.
We’re grateful for the policies that have already been enacted and actions that are already taking place to continue to protect and support our homeless neighbors. And, we’re extremely thankful that we can continue to move SPY’s mission forward. But we can’t fight this fight alone.
The street-based and at-risk youth we serve are at an increased risk of complications if they contract COVID-19. According to a report published by the National Alliance to End Homelessness, “Homeless individuals infected by COVID-19 would be twice as likely to be hospitalized, two to four times as likely to require critical care, and two to three times as likely to die than the general population.”
Housing Highlights
At SPY, we believe housing is an integral part of helping street-based youth find stability. We’re delighted by the projects, originally goals in our strategic plan, that have become realities over the past few months.
A Bridge Home Sunset
In February, in partnership with People Assisting The Homeless (PATH), SPY celebrated the opening of A Bridge Home Sunset in Venice (ABH). As a result, 54 transition-aged youth have been moving off of the streets and into their home. ABH will house residents for three to six months as they work with SPY staff to secure permanent supportive housing. While at ABH, residents are provided three nutritious meals a day and receive dedicated case management, education and employment support, and access to health and wellness care to help them transition from the streets and stabilize.
The Nest
The Nest, which opened in December 2019, is SPY’s housing program designed specifically for youth who are pregnant and/or parenting. The program has the capacity to host 8 to 10 parenting youth and their families for up to 36 months. Each resident has a dedicated case manager, together they focus on goals like finding housing, completing education, and improving life skills. Residents also receive targeted family services and parenting classes. We are thrilled to share that as of April 1, we have reached full capacity at The Nest!
A Furry Reunion
Marquise and his dog Cloud 9 have been unhoused in Venice and coming to SPYs Access Center for services since 2016. Marquise, a talented guitar player, participates in SPY's Healing Arts program and has worked closely with his Case Manager to plan his short and long term goals for stability. Through SPY's partnership with Project Minnie, Marquise is also able to provide excellent care for Cloud 9.
On the streets of Abbot Kinney, Marquise met Rick, a community member who immediately bonded with Marquise. Unfortunately in October 2019, LAPD removed Cloud 9 from Marquise's custody, leaving the two separated and Cloud 9 in an animal shelter.
In an effort to support Marquise reuniting with Cloud 9, Rick became Marquise's mentor through SPY's Mentorship Program, which matches volunteers to mentor youth on an individual basis. With Marquise's dedication, Rick's determination, and SPY's driven case management team providing advocacy in the courtroom and in the community, Marquise and Cloud 9 have finally been reunited! The two are now residing at SPY's bridge housing program, A Bridge Home Sunset, where we love seeing them together every day.
