LET’S END HOMELESSNESS IN LOS ANGELES, TOGETHER!
Meet Calvert! After he was laid off and his girlfriend passed away, Calvert became depressed and ultimately lost his housing. He experienced homelessness on and off for 13 years, before connecting with The People Concern.
Life on the streets was tough, but then I met Sean, a Case Manager on The People Concern’s E6 Outreach Team. Together, we made a plan to get me to a better place. We shared a common goal to find me a home, and now I have one. Home is my life. My heart. My Soul.
The People Concern is on a mission to ensure all of our neighbors can be housed, healthy and safe – like Calvert! Join us in providing access to critical resources and supportive services for our most vulnerable neighbors.
