December 21 marks the winter solstice—the first day of a new season and the longest night of the year. It is also Homeless Persons' Memorial Day, a time to honor and remember those who have lost their lives while experiencing homelessness. Today, we reflect on the compassion, dedication, and collective action required to support our unhoused neighbors here in Los Angeles. This day serves as a reminder of the "why" behind our work: to save lives, to bring people home, and to create a future where homelessness is no longer a reality. Our mission is vital, but we can’t do it alone—it truly takes a village. Join us in making a difference. To learn how you can help end homelessness in people's lives, visit LAFH.org/donate. 💙

About us
Our mission is to help families transition out of homelessness and poverty through a continuum of housing enriched with supportive services. Since 1983, LAFH has grown to become the largest provider of affordable housing in the San Fernando Valley and a best practices provider of basic needs and homeless services throughout Greater Los Angeles. LAFH is a unique housing provider because its services and real estate development address the full continuum of care for homeless and low-income households, from temporary housing to permanent rental housing, all linked to supportive services. In total we own and operate 22 properties, including three shelters and 19 permanent affordable apartment buildings. In 2011, LAFH reached 3,518 children, parents and single adults through its multi-tiered supportive housing system. The agency maintains a 92% success rate in placing families in permanent, independent housing. Each year, our wraparound service and housing continuum helps more than 500 households transition from the streets to housing stability. By balancing housing costs with basic needs, offering supportive services to increase self-sufficiency, and preserving and increasing the stock of affordable housing in LA, our work helps to build neighborhood infrastructure and inject economic growth into low-income communities.
