Food Boost
Housing Works developed its Food Boost program during the pandemic to ensure that its most vulnerable, elderly and ill formerly chronically homeless participants would have access to free, fresh, culturally relevant food. The program is now being institutionalized to ensure that people living in permanent supportive housing can remain housed and off the streets for good. LA2050 funding will purchase a delivery van to distribute twice-weekly, culturally relevant meals and grocery boxes.
