“In my community, especially for the fact that it is underserved and is limited in opportunities, I think that has driven the youth to not have a safe place to go for what they really want to do or have a safe place to be creative, be passionate about something, you know what I mean? And I think having a home or having a community that supports you in any way or in a certain way that can ease your mind, you know. Having the habits, a schedule–just a pattern in your life that's positive makes a huge impact in the way you go about life and in the people that are in your circle because you wouldn't be negative; you wouldn't be violent; you wouldn't be distracted with access to easy sources to dopamine such as drugs, You wouldn't waste your time at home, like say bingeing or whatever. You feel accomplished in a way. And I think that's important.”
