| About us | Founded by local community members in 1988, Venice Community Housing has been developing lasting, neighborhood-based solutions for low-income families and individuals for over 28 years. We own, and manage 216 units of non-profit affordable housing, both transitional and permanent throughout Venice, Mar Vista, and Del Rey. We also provide comprehensive supportive programs including job training, youth development, life-skills coaching, and family services to help people regain or retain their self-reliance. Our non-profit, permanent affordable housing helps people whose wages haven’t kept pace with rents in their own neighborhoods. And for the most vulnerable who can’t make it without help, we provide permanent housing with supportive services that allows them to live with dignity. |

Changes like these don’t just happen on their own—it’ll take all of us working together to make this a reality.
That’s where you come in.

How do we get there?
➡️ By investing in innovative strategies to create more affordable homes at a lower cost
➡️ By establishing ongoing funding for new affordable homes countywide
➡️ By streamlining the process through a dedicated agency
It’s clear that L.A. County needs more housing.
We need truly affordable permanent homes in vibrant communities for families and individuals without a roof over their head 🏠

It will take all of us working together to solve the homelessness and housing crisis in LA. We’re acting quickly to take on the challenge and advancing a solution that City Hall won’t. Join us: https://bit.ly/united-email #UnitedToHouseLA
“Why do you keep saying we need more affordable housing?”
This. This is why.
This is why over half of all L.A. renters are rent burdened (spending more than 30% of their income on rent).
This is why every year more and more of our neighbors end up on the streets.
