2024 By The Numbers

Our Model

Letter from our CEO and Chair of the Board of Directors

Dear friends,  

LA Family Housing welcomes you to the first all-digital version of our Impact Report—we hope you enjoy this new format. We’re proud of our 2024 accomplishments highlighted throughout this report, including connecting over 17,000 people with services and housing – more than any other year in LAFH history. Over 5,600 of those people are permanently housed in LAFH-owned buildings, and of the roughly 10,000 people in our homeless programs, we helped over 2,400 secure permanent homes, diverting thousands more from falling into homelessness to begin with. 



Thus, our work must continue! As one of the leading homeless service agencies in the County, LAFH knows what it takes to end homeless: helping more people stay in their homes, increasing access to housing and services for those who have fallen into homelessness, and building more affordable housing in our region. 

To that end, we have ramped up our real estate development and continue to be a leading advocate for creating more efficient systems to build housing. In 2024, we launched LAFHBUILDS, an affiliate nonprofit whose focus is affordable housing development. In partnership with LAFHBUILDS, we have eight new projects in our development pipeline which will create 563 new permanent homes by 2026.

We are deeply appreciative of our dedicated Board of Directors, brilliant colleagues, and you—our incredible community of supporters. With you by our side, LA Family Housing will continue serving Angelenos experiencing homelessness with the same determination, innovation, and passion we have shown for over four decades. We look forward to creating a brighter future together!  
 
With gratitude,
