Imagine LA

In 2022, Imagine LA opened Missouri Place, the first families-only Permanent Supportive Housing development in West LA for families emerging from and at risk of homelessness, with onsite services for 73 families. Services include intensive case management, mentorship, and economic mobility. With the LA2050 grant, we will expand these services to offer on-site support groups led by skilled professionals with experience in domestic violence and mental disorders and add cultural activities and classes so families can continue to heal and thrive.

Imagine LA envisions a future where the generational cycles of poverty and homelessness are a thing of the past. Our Family Partnership Model (FPM) ensures that families emerging from homelessness achieve their goals and thrive. In addition to our holistic case management work, we provide effective Mentorship programming to build the family’s social capital and a sequenced Economic Mobility Program that tackles the key barriers families face to exiting poverty. Together, these supports help families carve a path to long-term wellness.

It all begins with sharing stories. Imagine LA and L.A. Works are joining to empower 150,000+ Angelenos to share their own life experiences to help alleviate homelessness in our city.

Imagine LA recruits and trains volunteers across LA County to mentor formerly homeless families to break their cycle of poverty and to ultimately thrive.
