We currently provide more than 1,500 units of affordable permanent housing for individuals and families, and over 350 units of emergency and transitional housing.  We’re currently developing subsidized housing for veterans and their families to meet the rising need as soldiers return from service.

Volunteers of America is one of the largest non-profit providers of quality, affordable housing nationwide.  We see affordable housing as a key component in our continuum of care.  We intentionally keep our rents low so people have a chance to save and eventually buy homes of their own, because owning a home is often one of the best confidence builders for sustained independence and self-sufficiency.    

We help prevent homelessness in Los Angeles by offering over 1,500 affordable permanent housing units especially suited to the ELDERLY AND WORKING PARENTS WITH CHILDREN.  Complexes are located throughout Greater Los Angeles in Long Beach, North Hollywood, Santa Monica, Silverlake and Sunland.

We assist individuals and families by providing CLEAN, SAFE AND AFFORDABLE housing and the VITAL SUPPORT SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES they need to thrive. We offer our residents after school programs, transportation to medical appointments, and training for those with developmental disabilities.

Our founders’ namesake Ballington Plaza provides 270 subsidized housing units for veterans, graduates of substance abuse programs, people with disabilities, former Skid Row residents, and the working poor.  With support services for the mentally ill, the elderly and veterans, a beautifully landscaped courtyard, and comfortable community areas, Ballington Plaza is an OASIS IN THE HEART OF SKID ROW.
