I saw this on the main ACEs group and posted this to CA ACEs Action after I took at look at the map. NOTE so many of our CA counties are suffering from this new "Urban Crisis" and we see this from the data and stories coming from so many CA counties. We know this is affecting our children - if parents can't afford housing, don't make a living wage, need to commute hours each way to a higher paying job, this is adding adversity and trauma in their lives and the lives of their children.
