United Way of Greater Los Angeles Launches Pandemic Relief Fund

HOUSING

Over 52,000 men, women, children and veterans are suffering on our streets on any given night in Los Angeles County.

EDUCATION

Every student, regardless of race or income, deserves a high-quality education and the chance to graduate ready for college and a career.

ECONOMIC MOBILITY

Over 1.6 million working families and individuals live in poverty and 1 in 6 live one paycheck away from becoming homeless.

WE WILL END HOMELESSNESS AND POVERTY IN L.A. COUNTY

With your help, we’re fighting the root causes of poverty by preparing students for high school graduation, college, and the workforce; housing our homeless neighbors; and guiding hard-working families towards economic mobility.

And it’s working. Together, we’ve moved 45,000 people out of homelessness and into safe homes, increased the college-ready graduation rate by 5.2%, and secured over $11M in tax returns for low-income households across L.A. County.

We can’t stop now.

SEE OUR IMPACT IN ACTION

We’re experts in fighting and preventing homelessness and poverty.

Across Los Angeles County, 52,765 residents are experiencing homelessness, 5 out of 10 students are graduating poorly prepared for college or careers, and 1.63M are living in poverty.

We’re attacking these issues at their roots, championing for systemic change and supporting more than 100 community-based organizations. It takes a village but Los Angeles is the strongest one we know.

We can’t do it without you. Your donations and support made it possible to house 45,000 people, to provide 30,000 high school students with real-life work experience, and place nearly 1,300 veterans in stable employment.

With your help, we can do more.
