On any given night 39,500 of our neighbors sleep on the streets. Over 10,000
of those on our streets have been there for over a year. Almost 5,000 of them
served our country. But, there is a solution to homelessness and you can help
be a part of it…
On a beautiful Saturday in November thousands of Angelenos will join Honor-
ary Chair Kobe Bryant and United Way of Greater LA to change Los Angeles!
Residents of all ages and backgrounds will rally to raise funds and participate
in HomeWalk, an annual 5K Run/Walk to end homelessness on November 15.
Over the past 7 years, HomeWalk has mobilized over 50,000 walkers and raised
$4 million in support of Home For Good, a collaborative community effort
formed out of a joint initiative of the United Way and the LA Area Chamber of
Commerce. Thanks to the community’s support through HomeWalk and the in-
credible public and private funding partners participating in the Home For Good
Funder’s Collaborative, Home For Good partners have housed over 15,000 indi-
viduals in permanent supportive housing since 2011, and continues to work to
end veteran homelessness in the next year and veteran homelessness by 2016.
This year HomeWalk plans to recruit almost 15,000 walkers and raise $1.2 mil-
lion, with the generous support of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation which will
be once again matching dollar for dollar all donations raised by individuals and
teams!
