Why we do this
Preventing people from becoming homeless in the first place is critical. Currently, LA county spends only ~5% of homeless funds on prevention and is focused on the most acute cases.
Our mission is to prevent homelessness.
Our mission is to prevent people from becoming homeless by providing no-interest micro loans to economically vulnerable Los Angelenos who are at imminent risk of homelessness.
The STEP Fund is the Prevention pillar of our latest 501c3 organization, Better Angels United, a new holistic approach to tackling the homeless epidemic in Los Angeles.
We are harnessing new models of intervention, community engagement, advocacy, world-class technology, and a strong dose of pragmatism across five critical areas of need: Prevention, Sanitation, Services, Shelter and Housing.
We are proud to work with trusted community organizations
We are grateful to count on the support of trusted experts and valuable community partners. Together, we will ensure that our clients always get the best support available.
