Dear friend,

Because you’ve stood with us before, you know that permanent housing is the solution to ending homelessness in Los Angeles. Today, we need your voice again. Right now, Los Angeles is at risk of losing more than $217 million in federal funding. This funding supports 131 local projects — including over 8,000 permanent homes, programs for people with disabilities, survivors of domestic violence, families and youth experiencing homelessness.

If this funding is cut, the consequences will be devastating. But together, we can advocate to ensure Congress protects these vital resources.

Here’s how you can help in 3 quick steps:

  • Go to this action portal: National Alliance to End Homelessness

  • Copy and paste the sample email below into the portal — and add a short personal note about why this issue matters to you.

SAMPLE EMAIL

As Washington D.C. faces a federal government shutdown, the stakes for our most vulnerable neighbors have never been higher. We are reaching out to ask for your immediate help on a critical issue. Los Angeles is at risk of losing over $217 million in federal Continuum of Care (CoC) funding, which supports 131 local projects dedicated to ending homelessness.

The Los Angeles CoC’s portfolio covers over $217 million in federal funds for 131 individual projects. This funding is essential to addressing our homelessness crisis.

Here's what's at stake:

Over 8,000 units of permanent housing are at risk.

More than three-quarters of this funding supports Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH), providing stability for people with disabilities.

Over $30 million is targeted to support survivors of domestic violence and Transition Age Youth (TAY).

We cannot afford to lose this vital funding. I urge you to take action to ensure that Los Angeles receives its full allocation of CoC funding.
