Mayor Karen Bass is joining the Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles and U.S.VETS to announce a partnership that will help ensure no veterans end up homeless when there are resources available to help them.
Recognizing the importance of preventing evictions in overcoming Los Angeles’s homelessness crisis, The Bob & Dolores Hope Foundation has donated $1.5 million and Health Net $1.3 million to support the Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles’ We Are LA program.
As part of the We Are LA program, St. John’s Community Health has engaged over 240,000 patients to see if they could benefit from the services provided by the program and have linked over 20,000 people to the needed eviction prevention services.
The Fund's President and CEO, Conway Collis, sits down with NBC4's Conan Nolan to discuss the work being done to prevent evictions and homelessness.
The We Are L.A. team held a tenant resources clinic on March 2nd, where the volunteers connected attendees to resources they may already qualify for, answered questions about landlord complaints, and helped them respond to Unlawful Detainer notices.
This in-person event will ensure you are signed up for all of the services and support available and provide valuable information and resources about eviction protection and prevention, including financial planning, legal information and more.

The clinic is the first of three planned, aimed to assist individuals at risk of eviction before the looming February 1 deadline for settling back rent from October 1, 2021, to January 31, 2023. The second clinic is scheduled for Saturday, January 27th.
It’s a new year, but the Mayor’s Fund’s goal of helping Angelenos stay housed has not changed. We Are LA is hosting a series of resource clinics that will provide eviction protection information and on-site screening and sign up for public benefit programs.
The Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles has adopted several reforms to its policy for accepting contributions that mirror city candidate campaign contribution rules. Going forward, the fund will no longer accept donations from individuals registered to lobby the city, as well as developers focused on doing business with the city. The goal is to adhere to the highest ethical standards while providing the support needed to help prevent homelessness in Los Angeles and address other critical issues facing the city.
