PATH - FAITH VIEW

Whether your faith-based organization has been serving the homeless for generations or you're just getting started, PATH would like to partner with your group.

It has become obvious that to end homelessness in Los Angeles, social services, politicians, the business community, and especially the faith community, will need to work together toward the common goal of serving our brothers and sisters who are without a place to lay their heads each night.

The faith community offers diverse services to the homeless to help them transition off the streets. Spiritual counseling, a sense of community, and long-term personal accountability are critical to helping people make it back into mainstream society.

PATH, works together with local churches, temples and synagogues to provide these specific services. The Faith-Based Homeless Awareness Conference, held in the summer 2002, was very successful at opening a dialogue between the faith community and social services, sharing resources, and realizing the need that we have for each other.

If you would like to get more information on how your spiritual or religious organization can get involved with putting an end to homelessness, please contact Margaret Willis at 323-644-2200 or margaretw@epath.org.
