Last month, LA Family Housing hosted a Job Fair designed to support participants in our community who are transitioning out of homelessness and working toward rebuilding their lives. We know that the hunt for a job is never an easy task, and our team wanted to ensure participants had the resources and encouragement they need every step of the way.
Thanks to the incredible efforts of our Regional Coordination team, more than 60 participants were connected with potential employers, housing services, and on-site resume support. By bringing together opportunity, guidance, and hope under one roof, we continue to walk alongside our community on the path toward stability and independence.
