Our legacy began back in 1983 when two different but like-minded organizations were formed: one which provided an immediate response to homelessness with shelter and services, and a second that built affordable homes for families transitioning out of homelessness. The two combined to form LA Family Housing as we know it today. Since then, we have been there for the people of Los Angeles, ending homelessness for tens of thousands and touching the lives of countless others.
