Fighting Homelessness
Benefits the Community as a Whole.
Los Angeles has the highest homeless population in California.
Over 1/3 of this population have a disabling condition, causing them to experience chronic homelessness.
The Hozho Foundation perceives the need of a transformative approach, pairing sustainability with affordable housing and supportive services to enhance the life of the most vulnerable.
When disabled people are supported, they can participate fully in society, fostering inclusivity.

but because the broader environment isn’t accessible.”
