After years of researching what works and what doesn’t, and meeting with everyone from supportive housing providers and government officials to shelter workers and citizens eager to help, it’s clear we need a more aggressive, comprehensive, and integrated approach to tackling this crisis.
learn about our approach
Homelessness in LA county is escalating despite billions in taxpayer-approved spending. The government has failed to create sufficient housing, and nonprofits, while well-intentioned, lack the resources to address the crisis at scale. Bureaucratic delays mean new government initiatives are slow and insufficient, with much of Proposition HHH funds being spent on costly, slow-to-build units. We urgently need more housing, as existing shelters and outdated service systems are inadequate. Basic needs like clean water, bathrooms, and trash pickup are not being met.
Homelessness may seem like an insurmountable issue, but we can solve it together. Our community, the largest and most culturally diverse in the U.S., will use innovative thinking, practical solutions, advanced technology, and hard work. As Lincoln urged, let's unite for the betterment of our City of Angels.
For many households, a temporary financial crisis shouldn't cost them their home. Our prevention programs provide a vital safety net, offering rental assistance to those at risk of eviction to ensure a rough patch doesn't turn into permanent homelessness. This is the quantifiable impact of keeping Los Angeles housed.
On our dedicated resource days, we create a one-stop hub where our unhoused neighbors can access essential services without barriers. From warm meals and clothing to medical care and job assistance, we provide immediate, tangible support. Every number represents a neighbor who received vital care and a step toward stability.
