Pacific Premier Bank is proud to deliver a 2024 AHEAD Program grant in the amount of $100,000 in partnership with Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco to A Step to Freedom (ASF) that will help boost economic vitality in Los Angeles, CA. ASF’s mission is to enhance the lives of low-income individuals and families who struggle with social and economic disparities caused by homelessness, lack of education, substance abuse, and mental illness by providing a safe and nurturing environment to break cycles, heal and thrive. ASF's workforce development program provides career exploration, support with education and certification, and placement at a partner organization for work experience. The AHEAD Program will help with the growing needs of the ASF program by using funds to hire an employment specialist and provide stipends to participants. #AHEADGrant #WorkforceDevelopment #CommunityEmpowerment

The homeless population in Los Angeles County decreased by 0.27% to 75,312, and in the city of Los Angeles by 2.2% to 45,252. This was the first time in six years that homelessness in Los Angeles has decreased. However, we are still fighting to end it altogether, until then we’re doing everything we can to help our community! You can help us too but donating or volunteering. #volunteering #donate #asteptofreedom #warmthestreetsla #blanketdrive

Research published in the American Journal of Community Psychology shows that providing stable housing can reduce recidivism rates by up to 40%. Our unhoused neighbors can now be ticketed or arrested for sleeping outside, even when there's nowhere else to go. We're committed to turning the tide, but we need your support to make a difference. Will you support us in reducing recidivism and ending homelessness? #endingpoverty #blanketdrive #WarmTheStreets #DonateNow #homelessness #ASFImpact #asteptofreedom #serve
