Upward Bound House (.org) is building a Family Shelter in L.A. to open Feb. 1st. Due to the effectiveness of the programs they've designed (money management for parents, tutoring for kids) the success rate of families finding housing and maintaining stability is 96%! This is crucial given the 40% surge of homeless families in L.A. between 2008-09.
