The 2024 Greater Los Angeles Point-in-Time Homeless Count revealed that Los Angeles County had more than 70,000 homeless individuals living within its boundaries, the highest figure in the nation. In order to reverse this trend, the homeless services arena needs effective policy, multi-agency collaboration, and a systems change approach.
Shelter Partnership addresses the root causes of homelessness by creating systems that help people get and stay housed. Shelter Partnership does this by:
For over 30 years, Shelter Partnership has worked to establish itself as one of the leaders in the fight to end homelessness in Los Angeles. Shelter Partnership’s recent advocacy efforts achieved some significant results.
Shelter Partnership worked with the Los Angeles Housing Department, L.A. County Development Authority, and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority to complete an application to HUD to construct nearly 100 units of affordable housing with services for disabled Veterans and youth experiencing homelessness.
Throughout 2024, Shelter Partnership championed a capacity building initiative for 13 small, mostly BIPOC-led youth-serving organizations with the aim of building their skills and increasing their ability to apply for and secure major public and private funding.
Shelter Partnership consulted on applications to the L.A. County’s Affordable Multifamily Rental Housing funding program, helping secure $189 million for the development of new permanent supportive housing projects throughout L.A. County.
Shelter Partnership assisted implementation of the Bringing Families Home Program, a state-funded initiative providing short-term rental subsidies, case management, and other resources to address housing instability among families involved with the child welfare system.
