Every Imagine LA family has experienced poverty and in many cases, homelessness. And yet, we believe no one is defined by their most difficult experience. With Imagine LA, families access the tools, skills, and spaces to advance their goals around career, finance, education, health, and more. We walk alongside families through caring case management, a team of volunteer mentors, and a community of supporters who always have their back.

Our teams of volunteer mentors serve as friends and partners, working one-on-one with a parent, teen, or youth in our program. Through the power of transformative relationships, mentors and mentees join forces to grow and have fun together. Mentors are supported by Imagine LA and their fellow team members because we believe that no one thrives alone.

Everything we do is built on a foundation of trust and relationships. Whole-family, caring case management works to prevent first-time or repeat homelessness, and clear barriers to family goals, which sets the stage for economic mobility programming, financial independence, and success for the whole family.

All families gain access and guidance through a comprehensive Financial Fitness curriculum, our Matched Savings program, Living-Wage Careers Pathways (healthcare, logistics, technology, and more), and support securing childcare.

Our sister organization, Social Benefit, is also working on transformative technology to help change the system as we know it.

With many different programs underway, I have high hopes that 2024 will be an impactful year for the ILA community. I am asking for your support to plant new Seeds of Change this Spring/Summer to continue the fight to end family poverty and homelessness.
