LIVE ·2023 Grants ChallengeHousing insecure people creating housing policy
POWER will train and develop community leaders who are currently unhoused, have recently experienced homelessness, or are currently facing displacement. We will evaluate local initiatives to address the housing and homelessness crisis and win a seat at the table so local government agencies can benefit from the direct, lived experience of people who have faced housing insecurity. Together, we will design programs that draw on real peoples' lived experience to make our housing policies as effective and impactful as possible to house LA together.
