WHAT IS HOMEWALK?

HomeWalk is United Way of Greater Los Angeles’ annual 5K Run/Walk to end homelessness taking place on November . Each year thousands join together to do their part by fundraising and spreading the word that homelessness is a solvable problem.

WHY HOMEWALK?

In Los Angeles County 51,000 people are homeless. Over the past 4 years, HomeWalk has mobilized 18,000 walkers, raised $1.7 million and funded organizations that have moved 9,000 people into permanent housing. All proceeds go directly back to the community, supporting permanent solutions to end homelessness for chronically homeless people, veterans and families. Solutions such as permanent supportive housing and rapid rehousing have proven highly successful in citied such as New York and Denver. In Los Angeles County the solutions we support have over 85% success at keeping people off the streets for good with a 43% cost savings for tax-payers.
