There are so many steps and people involved in helping one person move into a home, and we would all do it again to make sure one less person is on the streets. Thank you to every provider, social worker, and outreach team. Congratulations, Nick, another person housed.

Helping Angelenos achieve stability is deeply fulfilling work for LAHSA. Many of us take something as simple as a shower or restroom for granted, but offering that dignity and privacy to clients makes the work of bringing people indoors profoundly meaningful.

Meet people where they are; that’s the empathy needed in homeless services. If it means sitting on the ground, our outreach team does it. At LAHSA, making sure clients are seen and understood is always a top priority.

“Would I recommend the shelter to anybody? Yes!” Cynthia, once unhoused, found safety in interim housingwith her two dogs—and now has a home of her own. With help from LAHSA and Hope for Home, she began her path to permanent housing. Interim housing is the way home.
