Imagine LA partners with existing homeless service agencies located throughout Los Angeles County that provide temporary "transitional housing" and other services to homeless families. These Referral Partners have signed Letters of Agreement and refer families to our program. Case workers from these agencies understand the Imagine LA program and identify families that fit specific ILA criteria, providing a steady stream of potential program participants.

Our Funding Partners are made up of individual donors, private and public foundations, corporations, the government and the faith community. Imagine LA's donors help develop a scalable model by investing in our mentorship program and providing the necessary operating funds to build a solid foundation. Imagine LA also receives funding from the faith community via our Faith Partners. Each Faith Partner provides Family Sponsorship Funds of $5,000 that help our families on their roads out of poverty; through one of our grantors, scholarships are available to allow Faith Partners without sufficient financial resources to participate in our program (for more info on our Faith Partners, click here).
