With so many people effected by the pandemic, the state of the world, general health, the fires, the economy and wellness as well as the job market I've known/know many people who benefit from organizations like LAFH - who seem to be the most thorough, compassionate and active in Los Angeles. I've been lucky enough to help with on site gardening #greenthumb, homeless connect days, donation kits and even fundraising. I've connected with several staff, employees, security, affiliates and those seeking services and toured the facilities at their home base/main location in North Hollywood on Lankershim Blvd. I learn something new every week, and look for ways to be involved as well as encourage others to be involved. Visit their website under take action to become involved as a volunteer or connect to services if you need them or know someone who needs them. They also are actively hiring and growing their staff to better serve the Los Angeles community #GiveBack

It would be so nice if these entities hired the right people rather than people with "credentials"…read morewho show up merely to have lunch and collect a paycheck. The employee pool at LAFH is extremely lacking in competence as well as having no interest whatsoever in helping those whom they have been hired to help. They appear very young & inexperienced with no concept of the urgency for the individuals that they are there to help. My own experience to base this perception on has been with the Media Relations (Rachel Kassenbrock) & the Community Outreach (Marco Santana) persons. That said - this entity is still a necessary evil & well worth every effort trying to get help from them.

They have an information center, resource center, restrooms, showers, garden and offer a lot of opportunities for those facing hardship, poverty, hunger, and homelessness by offering immediate assistance as well as long-term solutions. I recently volunteered her via LA Family Housing partnering up with Hope the Mission/Hope of the Valley for a homeless connect day where they also provided a career and education fair, complimentary hot meals, beverages, hygiene kits, pet food, pet blankets, blankets, towels, clothing, haircuts and lots of great things for everyone including volunteers like myself. Parking can be accessed on Sherman Way or Radford (where Maps will take you) as well as via street parking. It's one of the cleanest and most well kept up centers I've ever come across and the host a ton of events here each month.

My daughter was an inpatient at Teen Project TWICE. Sadly she lost her battle with addiction in May…read more2019. The staff was willing to take her back once more but due to her age and past recidivism she needed personal health insurance which I was unable to provide for her. When L passed, I reached out to The Teen Project. Lauri Burns and several of her staff and recovery mates attended her Mass and Funeral. While many silently blamed me for daughter's passing, Lauri and her crew were nothing but sympathetic and loving. Layla almost made it.... though I am deeply wounded, I will always remain grateful to Lauri and her organization for CARING and perhaps understanding my child more than I did..yes they are a tough lot. They have to be. People's lives are on the line. I sincerely wish to collaborate with her in the future should I get past my grief.

Lauri B. - in response to your message, my review isn't based on the services offered- services offered were greatly appreciated and the work you all do is appreciated and admired.

I hadn't seen the news footage about what was going on but what was told to my loved one by staff.

The location does have a large homeless population that can show up but I have seen workers show kindness to ones that are looking to find what they need and also set boundaries with people that don't show respect to the store, shoppers, and staff.

Thank you for this insightful honor to testify about MEND's awesome services! When I was having…read morefinancial challenges eight years ago, I was the last of fifteen lucky patrons who won a MEND'S lottery for practically free dental services. Since then, I have been a regular patient of both MEND's dental and medical services. Their dental doctors give me deep-teeth-cleanings every three months - to keep my "pearly whites" healthy and bright! Moreover, their vision doctors give me two comprehensive eye exams, yearly - with a pair of fashionable glasses to match. Although I am 62, MEND's health programs keep me looking, feeling and acting like I am in my mid 40's. My vision is excellent for my age; I've only lost six teeth and my health is above-normal. Moreover, I am proudly showing-off five, glowing dental-implants and am scheduled for one more. I love my visits to MEND. Everyone is robustly friendly and always speak positively, in Spanish or English - like a comfortable family. I can't help from being enamored with MEND's revolving staff and personally miss their fun when they are gone. They are also timely with setting my appointments, making advance courtesy calls, and following-up - even with my trifling concerns. Whenever I have had to wait, they promptly and clearly explain why and give me reasonable alternative dates. MENDS Board-Certified dentists, optometrists, ophthalmologists and opticians are all Five-Star specialists. They are supported by academically superior apprentices that are uniquely trained in their technical fields - with impeccable personal care and social skills. MEND maintains State-of-the-Art equipment and technologically current personnel. The MEND Doctors have Big-Fun in the clinic. You may have to endure some brilliant, esoteric music or videos when you are having your "mug" fixed. Therefore, I cherish my MEND Doctors, who heart-fully call me by name. Several stand out - like Dr. Susan C. Fredericks, Dr. Hale, Dr. Alvarado and Dr. Avocado. Watching and listening to them instruct their apprentices is extremely informative and entertaining - as they meticulously work as a team. Hence, I've absorbed so much health info over the years - while being dubbed the "Patient - Patient -" that I should be awarded an honorary degree! I also take advantage of MEND's generous Food Service Programs that provide heathy foods and meals; Clothing Programs that provide trendy clothes and shoes; and Fitness Programs that provide nutrition info and diverse exercises - for our homeless and struggling neighbors. Also, MEND's yoga and samba classes; and their special events for children - rock! In essence, you will love coming to MEND. They truly MEET EVERY NEED WITH DIGNITY! Clarence CHAZZ Ross

The service you request is excellent in help for homeless people or have been trying to survive…read more The value is great because in this time of need you need help from the right people that can take you where you need to be. The hardest thing for me not many can guide you or inform you the people to take you to temporary housing and then permanent housing. Majority of people are not aware of the process it is not instant and takes time for myself and my brother it's almost a year and finding out people discriminate on the homeless whether it's a racist issue or stereo types it is sad we need kindness forward to try to make a little impact of a smile and saying good morning no one is better than other but the true kindness of the heart is priceless. Happy Holidays and always appreciate and thank God you are above being close to poverty you never know if that happens to you but be grateful.
