Our Approach: Helping homeless people find work, save money, secure housing and empower their lives.

Our Motto: "A Hand Up, Not a Hand Out."

Founded in 1984, PATH is a non-profit community organization whose mission is to break the cycle of homelessness by empowering homeless people with the tools for self-sufficiency. PATH works towards this goal by providing services that help homeless people find work, save money, secure housing, and empower their lives.

Initially an emergency food and clothing distribution program, PATH has since grown into a multi-facility organization that provides a wide range of coordinated services for homeless individuals throughout Southern California. PATH serves homeless clients in the following areas:

>> Transitional and Affordable Housing
>> Outreach and Referrals
>> Educational and Employment Assistance
>> Health Services
>> Supportive Social Services

PATH serves homeless individuals and families in several sites throughout Los Angeles County. Housing facilities are located at the Regional Homeless Center and West Los Angeles. PATH also operates five job centers in South Central Los Angeles, West Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, and the Antelope Valley. Each year, PATH serves over 12,000 homeless men, women and children in Los Angeles.
