LA Family Housing

Affordable housing and homelessness were the top-voted issues in the LA2050 2024 Grants Challenge. LA Family Housing--one of the largest homeless services providers and affordable housing developers in Los Angeles--owns and operates 2,000+ units of interim, permanent supportive, and affordable housing in LA, with some opening up in the next year. With this program, we will move 600 unhoused individuals and family members into permanent housing, with trauma-informed services before, during, and after move-in to ensure their longtime stability.

Affordable housing in Los Angeles is harder than ever to come by, and while we work to build more affordable housing in the long-term, people need housing now. LA Family Housing (LAFH) will help 1,000 unhoused Angelenos locate, access, and move into permanent housing. LAFH's Housing Location team will engage property owners throughout LA County to get them to open up their doors to people experiencing homelessness, reducing residents' barriers and increasing available affordable units.

There are more people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County than ever before, yet there is simply not enough affordable housing to stem the tide--particularly studios and one-bedroom units. LA Family Housing launched an innovative web-based platform that efficiently and effectively matches potential housemates for shared housing. Generating housing matches at a much larger scale than an individual case worker can, this pilot program moves more people facing homelessness into stable, affordable homes across Los Angeles.
