With the economic future uncertain, and unemployment rates skyrocketing, more and more Angelenos are stressing over whether they should pay rent, pay a past due bill or skip a meal. Since March, we have helped more than 130 households pay their rent. That’s $132,256! Many organizations, like NCJW|LA rushed to activate critical response services for our community members to stay sheltered, but the need just keeps rising. While the applications continue to come in, we are thankful to all of our donors and supporters who have helped us keep our promise to Keep Los Angeles Housed.
