Its true what the news said I've witnessed it first hand with these folks I've mentioned below Employee Nicola is so dam messy breach of confidentiality I've experienced with her with my co worker. Gossip about my file with her. Also they don't help with housing I have 3kids starting over from prison work for urban alchemy in Wilmington how I discovered lasha and it's been a year still no housing John they supervisors is the worst lazy man I ever known. Quick to tell you what part of the process they responsible for. Elgin abother lasha employee computer illiterate. They give you a duffle bag then take a picture of you.. Not to mention I signed up for housing for my kids and I they send me to a program where they would only house myself and not my children. I feel very disappointed. And mislead. I feel violated as far as my personal information being discussed with others. Then when they done with they version of passing lunches out they give me 2 boxes of the lunches to give to the homeless people. The homeless don't be wanting the meals it's the same thing every week. So it goes to waste. I feel very let down.

Horrible response. It can take a month for someone to get back to you. Their automated system disconnects calls. This is supposed to be an organization to help the homeless. I don't know how these people define the word "help," but it would appear that they are primarily interested in helping themselves.

Not a big surprise that LAHSA receives millions in Federal funding and has outreach teams "playing every tax payer" with long breaks, throwing food for homeless away and stringing homeless along with promises of housing. Biggest corruption scam in LA and NOBODY regulating them. LA has gotten worse with LAHSA leading the way.

I signed up originally in 2008, in the year 2021 I was talking with them and they were telling me I was a month away from housing to being told I wasn't in the database and to sign up again.. I am a disabled american.. I feel I have been discriminated against in housing by the LAHSA.

How can I get a copy of my birth certificates without any ID

Lucien Prevost | Aug 22, 2018
Linda Kelly | Aug 22, 2018

An certified agency that you have been working with should be able to verify your identity, but you can then only get it by mail. Or they should be able to help you get your ID if you already had one so that you could then go personally and get your birth certificate

How do you get a staff member on the phone?? I keep getting auto prompt after auto prompt

NoxZilla Swoonswerthy | Aug 21, 2021
M. Carlos Castillo | Sep 25, 2021

It's not a large staff, they spend time in the office and in the field. Since the pandemic began most have worked from home and goto the field. Just make sure you leave a message with a current working number.

There is a homeless woman at the gas station who is clearly in need of mental help. I do not want to get the police involved. What should I do or who should I call in the future when I come across a similar situation?

Cindy Hardin | Aug 21, 2020
Steven Elias | Aug 21, 2020

Use LA-HOP you can make an outreach request and a homeless outreach team will respond and try to help that person! https://www.lahsa.org/portal/apps/la-hop/

When did LAHSA start drug testing for Rapid Re-Housing

Probably shortly after realizing that rapidly re housing an addict who is currently using drugs is a waste of time & resources.

Hi, the LGBT center referred me to you. Do you accept intake of gay person, cross-dresser ? Do I have to stay alongside the regular men folk or do you have a separate section in the building for LGBT persons?

Production Technician | Aug 22, 2019
Linda Dunston-Kelly | Aug 22, 2019

They are the overseer of other agencies that do the work. So they will only be able to refer you. Depending on were you wish to reside will determine where you are housed. Not everyone is placed in motels, not everyone is housed as quickly as the other person outlined. Since you are stating that you are a cross dressing I would suggest that you seek service in Hollywood or Long Beach were they are more equipt with someone in that lifestyle. I hope this was helpful. And the LGBT has housing

They are not going to help you. They give you the run around and withhold resources from you and use them for themselves and their families who need help. They don't care about folks believe that!!!!!

You shouldn't come if you are not prepared. It is very expensive and housing is scarce. Too many people come here homeless and they are on the streets.
