It's one thing to read the statistics on homelessness in Los Angeles. It's another to see it in person — block after block of tents and people with nowhere else to go. The four organizations below work Skid Row and the wider county every day: emergency shelter, meals, showers, recovery programs, and a path back to permanent housing. Each is independently rated by Charity Navigator, so you can see exactly how efficiently your gift is used before you give.
