Facing foreclosure, the group asked L.A. Family Housing — then known as the Los Angeles Family Housing Corp. — to take over. The data system is managed by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority in downtown but relies on agencies around the county to do the hands-on work. In the early 2000s L.A. Family Housing began adding an outreach staff to directly engage the Valley’s homeless population. While beefing up the shelter, L.A. Family Housing continued building. Over the last three years, new sources of funding for homeless services have increased L.A. Family Housing’s annual operating budget from $10 million to $16 million.
