HISTORY
Our organization was founded in response to the growing housing crisis in South Central LA, where rising rents, predatory lending practices, and systemic inequalities were pushing many individuals and families to the brink of homelessness. Recognizing the urgent need for intervention, a group of passionate advocates and community leaders united to establish our non-profit organization. Since our inception, we have worked tirelessly to provide comprehensive support and advocacy to those facing eviction and foreclosure. Over the years, we have grown and evolved, expanding our services, building strategic partnerships, and making a meaningful impact on countless individuals and communities. Today, we continue to uphold our founding principles and remain steadfast in our commitment to preventing eviction and foreclosure, ensuring everyone has access to safe, affordable housing and the opportunity to thrive.​
