Home is Everything
Home is Everything
It All Begins with a Home
The Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles prevents Angelenos from falling into homelessness through partnerships with community organizations providing access to eviction prevention services and support such as legal services and healthcare.
Home is where each day begins and ends—where we wake up, return after school or work, and find rest, safety, and stability. It’s the natural center of life, and when it’s lost, everything else is put at risk.
We help keep the foundation of that home intact for some of the city’s most vulnerable residents, from individuals and families facing eviction to youth aging out of foster care and veterans. We’re working to ensure all Angelenos stay housed.
Prevention is the key to keep Angelenos Housed
As Mayor Bas has shared, “Addressing the humanitarian crisis in our City must also focus on preventing people from falling into homelessness in the first place. The tens of thousands of people served by the Mayor’s Fund are not just numbers, but individuals and families who are being connected to essential services with the goal of keeping them housed. This is how we continue to change the status quo and build upon our comprehensive strategy to tackle homelessness.”

Many of the homeless youth in Los Angeles have been in foster care, as are most of the youth who are sexually trafficked. They face unique challenges without the family support systems that serve as safety nets. That’s why the Mayor’s Fund launched the We Are LA Foster Youth program to expand services and housing.
Prevention Is an Investment in Everyone’s Success
With homelessness rates in LA declining for the first time in years under Mayor Bass’s leadership, our homelessness prevention strategies—backed by independent research—are part of this historic turnaround for a city that is not only tackling homelessness but preventing it before it starts.
