Our Mission: To break the cycle of homelessness by empowering homeless people with the tools for self-sufficiency.

Our Motto: "A Hand Up, Not a Hand Out."

Founded in 1984, PATH is a non-profit community organization whose mission is to break the cycle of homelessness by empowering homeless people with the tools for self-sufficiency. PATH works towards this goal by providing services that help homeless people find work, save money, secure housing, and empower their lives.

Initially an emergency food and clothing distribution program, PATH has since grown into a multi-facility organization that provides a wide range of coordinated services for homeless individuals throughout Southern California. PATH serves homeless clients in the following areas:

>> Transitional and Affordable Housing
>> Outreach and Referrals
>> Educational and Employment Assistance
>> Health Services
>> Supportive Social Services

PATH serves homeless individuals and families in several sites throughout Los Angeles County. Housing facilities are located at the Regional Homeless Center and West Los Angeles. PATH also operates five job centers in South Central Los Angeles, West Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, and the Antelope Valley. Each year, PATH serves over 12,000 homeless men, women and children in Los Angeles.

TreePeople is a nonprofit organization that has been serving the Los Angeles area for over three decades. Simply put, our work is about helping nature heal our cities. We offer sustainable solutions to urban ecosystem problems, focusing on three areas:

1. Training and supporting communities to plant and care for trees
2. Educating school children and adults about the environment
3. Working with government agencies on critical water issues

1. Training and supporting communities to plant and care for trees
- Our volunteers have planted over two million trees in the L.A. area over the past thirty years.
- We support people like you to plant and care for trees on school campuses, city streets and the mountains surrounding Los Angeles.

2. Educating school children and adults about the environment
- We have one of the nation’s largest environmental education programs and we connect communities and families to the nature that surrounds them.
- Over 300 schools in L.A. County participate in our programs - that's over 200,000 students each year, with 10,000 kids coming to our headquarters in Coldwater Canyon Park for Eco-tours.
- We’re contracted with the County of Los Angeles to deliver Generation Earth, a program that supports teens to complete environmental projects.

3. Working with government agencies on critical water issues
- Los Angeles imports more than half of its water supply but wastes most of its rainfall, sending it down storm drains to the ocean.
- We encourage government agencies to reverse the waste of water by capturing, cleaning and storing rainwater.
- We have five demonstration projects around L.A. County including a 110,000-gallon underground cistern at an elementary school near Los Angeles Airport (LAX).

Founded in 1973 by teenagers, TreePeople staff and volunteers continue to plant trees and restore the pollution-damaged mountains of Southern California. TreePeople has pioneered more than 200 tree-planting groups worldwide, and as one of the largest environmental educators in the U.S., TreePeople has initiated numerous large-scale public and youth education programs. The result: millions of people caring for their local environment by planting trees, recycling and preventing the pollution of stormwater.

Both regionally and nationally, TreePeople is helping to promote integrated watershed management practices through education, planting projects, policy development and research.

With over 15,000 members, 2,000 volunteers and 40 full-time and part-time staff, TreePeople is one of the largest independent environmental organizations in California. We are a private nonprofit, 501(c)3 that’s financially supported by the public and private sector, including individual donors, foundations, the entertainment industry, government contracts and memberships.

TreePeople’s mission is to inspire the people of Los Angeles to take personal responsibility for the urban forest -- educating, training and supporting them as they plant and care for trees and improve the neighborhoods in which they live, learn, work and play.
