IKAR
IKAR is working to reanimate Jewish life, to reengage text and tradition not only so that we find personal meaning and connection, but also to help us decipher what it means to be a human being in the world today.

LIVE ·2024 Grants ChallengeBuilding Community, Bridging Lives: Linking L.A.
IKAR seeks to build communications capacity to promote the construction of 60 brand-new affordable housing units in West-Central L.A., and to highlight our ongoing efforts to foster and strengthen an interfaith and multiracial community. Faith communities in Los Angeles are well-positioned to help combat the California housing crisis and an epidemic of social isolation — IKAR seeks to be a model others can replicate. Help us build a broader audience and strengthen our mission of developing a better foundation for a just and equitable society.

Homes for People in Houses of Faith
We’re creating a model for faith communities (churches, synagogues, mosques) to build Permanent Supportive and Affordable Housing as an integral part of our campuses and as part of our mission to love our neighbors. The grant funding will help us ensure that homes for people who are unhoused are built in high-opportunity, resource and transit-rich neighborhoods where land costs are higher and affordable housing is scarce.
