Big news from the heart of Koreatown! Thanks to the support and quick action of our LA4LA initiative, created in partnership with Mayor Bass, the 58-bedroom Eaves is now home to men and women from the Inside Safe program! In April, Mayor Karen Bass announced the launch of LA4LA, a public-private partnership with CCF. This project went from potential default to a beacon of hope in just four months. With $2.9M in grants and zero-interest loans, including support from the Marilyn and Jeffrey Katzenberg Foundation, Stephen J. Cloobeck, and the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation (@hiltonfoundation), we've shown how philanthropy, the private sector, and government can create affordable housing without taxpayer dollars. We are honored to collaborate with @MayorOfLA on the @LA4LAOrg initiative, along with Prophet Walker, Treehouse, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles, and People Assisting the Homeless (PATH). Join us in celebrating this milestone for Angelenos! #CCFImpact Read more about this in the LA Times! https://lnkd.in/g6uWp8-K #LA4LA #AffordableHousing #InsideSafe #CommunityBuilding
