Foundations & Corporate Giving

Donations to Homes for Life come from a variety of venues. In addition to individuals and families, we also seek support from larger agencies such as foundations and corporate sponsors.

• Foundations

Foundation support is critical to the continued existence of HFLF. We apply for grants to help cover gaps in funding that smaller donations cannot cover, such as major renovation projects or upgrading computer systems.

• Corporate

HFLF has become a part of the local community in each of its sites across the county. As such, we reach out to businesses in surrounding areas for support and to foster stronger, healthier communities.

Mary, 36

Children were taken away by the Department of Children and Family Services

Mary was a working parent with three children when she was diagnosed with mental illness. After having a psychotic breakdown, her children were taken away from her by the Department of Children and Family Services. She ended up homeless for a few years and was later picked up by police. This led to hospitalization and professional help. After being placed in a homeless transitional housing program, she was accepted into one of HFLF”s programs.

“Now I live in peace with my birds. I’m also able to stay in touch with my children because now I can afford a cell phone.”

Margaret, 38

Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder

Before coming to HFLF, Margaret was chronically homeless and unemployed due to a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. She also struggled with addiction and lived in downtown LA on Skid Row for many years.

“I was able to recover from addiction and graduate from USC. Without the housing and services provided by Homes for Life, this would not have been possible. I’m able to look forward to the future with confidence.”

James, 55

Lived in hospital bathrooms

James was homeless and lived in motels through the motel voucher program for the homeless. After he used all of his motel vouchers, he started sleeping in the bathroom at Harbor UCLA Medical Center so he could wait to be admitted to the psych ward. He was then transferred to a homeless transitional housing program and after two years was accepted into one of HFLF”s programs. After being in our program, James stopped hallucinating and became less paranoid.

“My new housing gave me security and shelter. My apartment has a bed, a television, heat and air conditioning. I’m so grateful to have a home now.”

Kenneth, 57

Ate leftovers behind fast food restaurants

Before he was accepted into one of the HFLF programs, Kenneth was homeless and sleeping in public parks and behind buildings. He would wash himself in public bathrooms to stay as clean as he could and ate leftovers behind fast food restaurants.

“I appreciate them very much. I had nothing before being accepted and now I have a reason to live again. My case manager is very friendly and helped me stabilize and understand my medical issues. I’m happy now and plan to expand my life to the fullest. Thank you for changing my life.”
