Family Shelter
Located in Northridge, the new 90-bed Home Again shelter will offer hope, shelter and safe, supportive housing to thousands of homeless families. The new facility will include private family bedrooms, a commercial kitchen, common dining room and living spaces, meeting rooms, computer education center, playground and garden – all geared toward helping families achieve a brighter future.
This new resource will enable the San Fernando Valley to realize a reduction of its homeless population, many of whom are neglected, and underserved.
