AFFORDABLE LIVING FOR THE AGING
Mission Statement
Affording Living for the Aging (ALA) is a BIPOC-led nonprofit currently serving homeless, very low-income, and high-acuity individuals in Los Angeles ranging in ages from 5 to 105. ALA’s mission is to reduce disparities and promote housing and health equity by enabling access to affordable housing and health services for disadvantaged populations. ALA provides permanent affordable housing, intensive case management, shared housing, and linkages to community resources. We envision a community where all individuals – regardless of age, race, or socioeconomic status – have access to affordable healthcare, housing, and a network of supportive service
