Our vision for the future is a Los Angeles where increased opportunity creates shared prosperity. Where dedication, creativity and determination allow individuals and communities to overcome poverty and make their American dreams come true. CCF’s economic opportunity program seeks to support low-income entrepreneurs, small businesses, social enterprises, and nonprofits as they build wealth, create jobs, and revitalize neighborhoods.
Every night, more than 60,000 Angelenos go to sleep homeless. They are families evicted due to job loss, veterans suffering from trauma, former foster youth, mothers and fathers, daughters and sons. The Home L.A. Fund seeks to combat homelessness by tripling the annual production of affordable supportive housing units that provide needed services to the homeless in Los Angeles.
