DID YOU KNOW THAT IN L.A. COUNTY:
Education
United, we saw an 11% increase in students meeting 4-year college requirements since 2011.
Housing
United, we provided housing to 40,000+ of our homeless neighbors since 2011.
Economic Mobility
United, we trained and secured jobs for more than 7,000 post-9/11 military veterans since 2011.
BUT OUR JOB’S NOT DONE
As a community, we’ve made significant progress in our fight to create pathways out of poverty for all L.A. County residents.
But while graduation and college readiness rates are rising, they aren’t nearly high enough. While millions of taxpayer dollars have been saved thanks to free tax preparation programs like VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance), too many families still worry about their next bill. And while we’ve led the effort to raise nearly $5 billion in civic funding to end homelessness, there are still more than 57,000 Angelenos who don't have a home to sleep in tonight.
So, let’s get to work.
EDUCATION
Students deserve more than just diplomas. They deserve to graduate prepared for college and careers.
HOUSING
No man, woman, child, or veteran deserves to suffer on our streets at night.
Economic Mobility
No Angeleno deserves to live one paycheck away from homelessness. But 1 in 217 do. This staggering number must change.
