ORGANIZATION: L.A. Family Housing

Play some board games and chat with families transitioning out of homelessness at an interim housing site in Boyle Heights in December and Panorama City in January.

Why: One of the most powerful ways you can help our participants transition out of homelessness is to give them opportunities for healthy social interaction. It may seem like you're just playing checkers, but you're helping someone practice their communication skills and heal their interpersonal relationships.

Who: L.A. Family Housing (LAFH) works to help families transition out of homelessness and poverty through a continuum of housing enriched with supportive services. Founded in 1983, LAFH served more than 2,500 people living in poverty this past year through its multiple housing and supportive service programs, and has served over 100,000 people since its inception. In total LAFH owns and operates 21 properties, including three homeless shelters and 18 permanent rental properties.

What to Expect:

Volunteering to play board games with individuals transitioning from homelessness can be a great way to give back to your community. Whether you're playing dominos, Uno, or Connect 4, you will have the opportunity to connect with those transitioning away from homelessness, and your time and effort can significantly impact them.

What's Required:

Must first attend our required (but awesome) training

Must show proof of vaccination

Must be over 18
