LAHSA's programs provide funding for agencies that offer homeless persons emergency shelter, transitional housing and/or supportive services and facilitates their entry into, and their progression through, the Continuum of Care system of services and housing with the ultimate goal of obtaining and maintaining permanent housing.

LAHSA's contracted agencies provide clean, safe and dignified emergency shelter and transitional housing as well as supportive services to homeless persons.  At each housing location, a full compliment of supportive services will assist residents to stabilize their lives and obtain the necessary benefits and skills to live in stable and appropriate housing. Clients entering the shelters will be referred from access centers and outreach programs, LAHSA's Emergency Response Team, supportive service agencies from within the Continuum of Care, client self-referral and other referral sources.
