60,000 people lose housing yearly in LA County. Prevention is cost-effective. But we call it a giveaway while crisis response burns millions.

"We heal in relationship, not isolation."

Find your people. The ones who understand why you tear up at victories and rage at preventable tragedies.

When I was homeless, success meant becoming a tax-paying citizen. Not humanity. Not recovery. Economic productivity.

We can't solve homelessness until we challenge who deserves to exist. Join us: buff.ly/ze5KpNM

"You wouldn't tell a friend they're not doing enough when they're giving everything they have." So why say it to yourself? Talk to yourself like you'd talk to a friend. You deserve that kindness.

Radical hope to end homelessness.

100 people spent two days rebuilding LA County’s homelessness services.

LAHSA suffered accusations of malfeasance for years. Their close relationship with the homelessness industrial complex allowed vast funds spent without accountability.
Now they're disbanded. HSH is being built almost from scratch.
Will agencies change how they provide services?

LA County: 5,000 square miles. 100+ languages. Mountains, deserts, ocean, thousands of miles of roads. No one size fits all here. But diversity is our superpower. HSH is taking advantage of that strength through these convenings.

Deportations tear families apart, requiring quick response with love and respect for those left behind.

Efforts to erase trans people are moves to exclude minorities. We must be innovative and effective at street level.

This work requires us to be brilliant and loving.

Radical hope asks us to live in the world we imagine.

I live in a world where we are brilliant, loving, caring, and effective. I invite you to live here too. Nothing can stop us when we work together. We can change the world by our very presence.

One of our biggest challenges: poor tracking of interactions with people we serve.
Funding creates silos preventing information sharing between agencies. The path to whole care coordination is fraught but fixable.

We can live in the world we imagine.

September 20th marked the most consequential nine months of federal policy change in my lifetime.

Immigration, LGBTQ rights, homelessness policies increasing instability. 60,000 people lose housing yearly in LA. Hundreds of thousands barely hanging on.
Policy has consequences.

LA is hosting 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics. We need plans NOW to ensure unhoused neighbors retain rights during mass relocations.

Safety and dignity for all requires simple safeguards and planning for hundreds of thousands of visitors.

This can be done right.

The homelessness industrial complex: public institutions positioned to scoop up federal dollars while actual coordination remains broken.

They don't own the data but rely on it to justify funding. Real change requires federal funding structure reform.

Slow but not impossible.
