  • LA VOICE

    Houselessness, Affordable Housing, Financial Insecurity

    LA Voice is a multi-racial, multi-faith community organization that awakens people to their own power, training them to speak, act, and work together to transform our County into one that reflects the dignity of all people.  Nefesh is a member congregation in LA Voice. LA Voice  is now activating spiritual congregations to learn and take action together around housing and financial insecurity in LA County. There are more than 69,000 houseless people in LA County, and the numbers are rising.   With increasing cost of living and severe lack of affordable housing, many LA families are experiencing financial and housing insecurity.    We are looking for volunteers to rally our Nefesh community to work on these issues in tandem with LA Voice.

    Commitment: Volunteers will help conduct a housing survey of Nefesh members and work in conjunction with LA Voice teams on various housing initiatives.
