The community served by APCH is historically under-resourced and suffers from generational poverty and persistent adversity. Families in South Los Angeles face some of the most difficult conditions in our city and country.

• A crime rate 60% higher than the national average
• 88% of reporting families living at or below the federal poverty line
• Nearly 50% of students don’t graduate from high school
• 20% the number of college graduates as the rest of the nation
• Unemployment rate three times as great as the national average, and even higher among young adults
• Families of four and more have a median annual income under $28,000

That’s where we come in. Since our founding, A Place Called Home has had the privilege of serving more than 20,000 young people and families, empowering them to self-reliance and ownership of their own lives. With your help, we will continue to grow and serve another 20,000 more young people and families in the years to come.
