A Sense of Home strives to prevent homelessness by creating first-ever homes and a community for youth aging out of foster care.
A Sense of Home Fire Relief
A Sense of Home (ASOH) takes very seriously its role in strengthening community. In the wake of the worst natural disaster in LA’s history, ASOH is unleashing its expertise and heart to swiftly lead efforts in rebuilding LA. In addition to providing direct support to aged-out foster youth who have been impacted by the fires, ASOH has launched a new initiative, Home Bank LA (HBLA) to help community members who have lost everything. Utilizing unique and efficient systems that we’ve developed over 10 years at ASOH, we moved quickly to harness the model to provide home environments for those who fled the fires and are being forced to move into empty rentals. In addition to continuing our operations at ASOH’s headquarters in Hawthorne, HBLA has begun operations in a newly donated warehouse space in El Monte close to the Altadena community.

ASOH continues its vital work creating homes and a community for aged-out foster youth at the same pace and capacity as always. Many of our Alumni and their children have been deeply impacted by the LA fires, including losing their homes, jobs, and being displaced. We are working harder than ever to provide direct financial support and life-saving resources to these deserving young people as the entire community tries to rebuild and recover.
Please consider making a donation to support former foster youth who have been displaced and devastated by the fires. We thank you for your ongoing support during this difficult period in our city’s history.
