service is our mission
Since opening our doors in 2010, Home Again L.A. has helped over 2,000 households mobilize from living on the streets or in their cars into permanent housing. We are just getting started!

Home Again L.A. (HALA) is a 501(c)3 non-profit homeless service agency with offices in Burbank, Glendale and San Fernando. The organization was created as a way to respond to the fastest growing segment of the homeless population, unhoused families with children. Opening our doors in July 2010, HALA focused on providing shelter in partnership with local congregations who provided overnight accommodations. Since then, we expanded to five core programs: Shelter, Homeless Prevention, Rapid Rehousing, Outreach and Transitional Housing. In 2017 the organization began to expand its services with partnerships with the cities of Glendale and Burbank to implement rapid rehousing programs. Then in 2019, in partnership with the Burbank Housing Corporation and City of Burbank we opened a Transitional Housing program called Jerry's Promise, targeting chronic unhoused families with children. Next, in 2020 we merged with fellow non-profit, Glendale Communitas, to facilitate outreach which included community workshops. In 2023, HALA served 699 households through the various programs we offer.

Shelter
Rapid Rehousing
Outreach
Our first core program is our 90-day shelter for unhoused families with children. The program works in partnership with local congregations as we focus on temporary shelter, meals, case management and housing.
The Rapid Rehousing program helps transition unhoused families with children into permanent housing. Families are provided up to 6 months of rental subsidies. Then, our trained Case Managers work alongside families to set benchmarks that focus on housing and financial stability.
Home Again L.A. offers outreach services through community workshops focused on job development, financial planning, and life skills. We also host community fairs and in 2024 established a Mobile Resource Center focused on bringing resources to low income communities.
Transitional Housing
Homeless Prevention
In 2018 Home Again L.A. partnered with City of Burbank and Burbank Housing Corporation to open a transitional housing program, Jerry's Promise, to provide short term housing for chronic unhoused families.
In partnership with local government agencies and private foundations, Home Again L.A. provides rental assistance and case management to families
at-risk of homelessness.
The majority of our services provide support to unhoused families with children. However, in recent years we've added new services that support individuals. Contact us to learn more about the services we offer including helping those in need find employment, increase annual housing income and attain housing.
Home Again L.A. offers an array of programs, and each program has its own capacity. In 2022-2023 through the combined effort of all programs we served 699 households.
In 2023, 699 families were provided assistance in securing housing and financial assistance. Of the 699 households served 234 housedholds were relocated back into housing. Nearly one year later 97% of those households remain in housing.
WE COULDN'T DO THIS WITHOUT OUR

"I have been part of Home Again LA since the development stage. I've watched the organization grow in size and in number of families it's lifted out of homelessness."
