Outreach and
Engagement
LA Family Housing uses street-based outreach and in-person engagement to begin the process of moving people home.
Of those participants, 83% chose to take advantage of further services to obtain housing.
Our trained specialists go into the community as part of multidisciplinary teams to make initial contact and maintain ongoing connections with people living on the streets, including those in encampments and hard-to-reach areas. LAFH Outreach team members work to establish trust over time, helping to connect these individuals with the housing solutions and essential supportive services that can end homelessness in their lives, including mental and physical healthcare, substance use support, trauma recovery counseling, benefits resources, and assistance with obtaining documentation needed to access services.
Partner Highlight / Health Net
LA Family Housing is proud to welcome new grant partners who joined our mission in 2024. Health Net of California, Inc. provided vital support to our Housing Location services—a program designed to expand access to permanent, affordable housing for individuals experiencing homelessness across Service Planning Area (SPA) 2. By fostering strong relationships with local landlords, this program plays a key role in addressing the region’s critical housing shortage.
Thanks to Health Net’s partnership, our Housing Location team has continued its essential work, helping participants navigate the complex process of finding, securing, and maintaining permanent housing. In 2024, this collaborative effort resulted in the acquisition of 1,295 new affordable housing units and the successful placement of 949 participants into stable housing.
