As the lead agency in the Los Angeles County Continuum of Care, LAHSA coordinates and manages over $70 million dollars annually in Federal, State, County and City funds for programs providing shelter, housing and services to homeless persons in Los Angeles City and County. LAHSA currently administers funding to over programs at over 100 agencies operating within the City and County, all working to help homeless people to achieve independence and stability in permanent housing. Our common goal: to end homelessness as we know it.

Our partner agencies provide a continuum of programs ranging from outreach, access centers, emergency shelters, safe havens, transitional and permanent housing, and prevention along with the necessary supportive services designed to provide the tools and skills required to attain a stable housing environment. Specialized programs funded through LAHSA address a wide-range of issues related to homelessness, including but not limited to: domestic violence, mental illness, substance abuse, job training, family strengthening, health, mainstream benefits enrollment, and most importantly, supportive short and long-term housing.

In addition to funding, LAHSA provides program design, outcomes assessment and technical assistance our partner agencies. Please use the navigation bar on the right to access our training schedule, sample forms and documents, and other useful information to help administer your service program.
