As a mother experiencing homelessness, Marcela faced unimaginable challenges while doing everything she could to protect and care for her son, Alex. Through the support of LA Family Housing (LAFH), she found safety, stability, healing, and ultimately a place to call home for her family. Her journey is a powerful reminder of the strength of mothers and the impact that compassionate support can have on a family’s future.

Lowe’s Helps Transform North Hollywood Apartments for Residents Rebuilding Their Lives |
April may have been Volunteer Appreciation Month, but at LAFH, we celebrate and appreciate the hundreds of volunteers who make our work possible all year long—from people who generously donate their time and skills, to corporate partners who bring resources and teams of volunteers to tackle larger needs.
One example of this critical support took place on a recent Friday in April, when more than 20 Lowe’s associates from eight local stores arrived at the Klump Apartments in North Hollywood with a clear mission: to bring some much-needed improvements and TLC to the property, which is home to people rebuilding their lives after experiencing homelessness.

And I found my volunteering purpose in LA Family Housing, which is to serve the unhoused community,” says Yanira. “That to me is what a perfect match is. I feel whole when I am here, when I do this.”
