Our Eviction Prevention and Rental Assistance Program (EPRA) assists households at the highest risk for eviction by providing rental assistance to prevent them from becoming homeless. In this difficult economy where cost of living continues to rise, CA renters face the added burden of some of the highest rents in the country and homelessness is on the rise. After verifying that rental units meet rent reasonable and habitability standards, we work with clients and landlords to tailor payment and budget plans to each family's situation.

Connection and Housing for Unhoused Seniors
Senior homelessness is surging country-wide and predicted to triple by 2030. Our Street Outreach Team, most with lived experience of homelessness, connect and build trust with the chronically homeless (1yr+ on the streets) of the San Gabriel Valley, 59% of whom are over the age of 50. We refer folks to critical services and successfully navigate many to long-term housing. A grant from LA2050 will allow us to add to our street outreach team and increase the number of our neighbors served by 37%.
