A Sense of Home prevents homelessness before it starts by creating first-ever homes and a community for youth aging out of foster care.
A Sense of Home Disaster Relief
for those who lost everything in the LA Fires
Launched within days of the LA fires, ASOH’s new disaster relief program utilizes the unique and efficient systems that we’ve developed over 10 years to provide home environments for those who fled the fires and are being forced to move into empty rentals. This new disaster relief program operates out of a newly donated warehouse space in El Monte (close to Altadena) and provides over 330 items to applicants so that they can begin to rebuild their lives.

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.
