Back on My Feet Los Angeles

This grant will fuel Back on My Feet’s transformative approach to homelessness, helping individuals access existing services while building a strong support network. Through movement, mentorship, and community, we empower participants to rebuild their lives with accountability, healthy habits, and personalized guidance. By fostering connections and providing pathways to employment and housing, we create lasting change—one step at a time.

Back on My Feet combats homelessness through the power of community and employment resources. Clients develop greater confidence and become part of a positive community by joining volunteers on walks/runs and then leverage these soft-skills and confidence developed in the Next Steps Workforce Development Program, working with staff 1-on-1 to upskill and prepare for the workforce and gain employment. BoMF’s person-centered approach gives individuals experiencing homelessness access to opportunities and tools needed for sustainable independence.

We provide workforce development opportunities that deepen existing abilities and provide new skills to our members, which increases their chances for employment and helps each reach his/her/their full potential. Our current success can easily be built upon with additional resources and funding.
