Real Estate
As a real estate developer and homeless services provider, LAFH recognizes that the key to ending homelessness in our region is to provide more permanently affordable homes. Our portfolio of 39 interim, affordable, and permanent supportive properties provides housing and stability for thousands of people each year – and we’re still building!
In late 2023, we announced the creation of LAFH Builds: a separate and distinct legal non-profit, affiliate corporation to develop, manage, and operate long-term real estate assets. With this new model, we accomplish three key goals: preserve the mission and financial health of each corporation, position the real estate operations to be more competitive within its specific market, and mitigate the associated risks inherent in the operation of two distinct businesses under one legal entity.
